Shinto is a tradition native to Japan that arose naturally on the eastern fringe of the Eurasian continent and was woven over many years into the fabric of people's everyday lives. When Buddhism entered the country in the sixth century, the two religions—rather than competing with or seeking to marginalize the other—coalesced, embracing many other folk deities as well to create a singular combinatory religious culture that continues to permeate Japan's cultural life today. This English translation of a book originally written in Japanese by one of the country's most knowledgeable, penetrating, and eclectic scholars of Japanese religion and spirituality presents an engaging overview of the country's religious legacy, as well as offering insights into how religion can become a force for peaceful coexistence, rather than violent extremism.
神道はユーラシア大陸の東の果てで自然発生的に生まれ、形成されてきた日本人のしきたりだ。6世紀に仏教が日本に伝来すると、神と仏は寄り添い、民間信仰などを取り込み、日本独自の神仏観をかたちづくってきた。日本文化の底流を成す神仏習合の歴史を見直し、社会不安に満ちている現代で、平和に向かって何ができるのか。新しい日本的霊性を見出し、その可能性を問う。
