Description

Explore the diverse world of Japanese religious traditions with this scholarly work from the Japan Anthropology Workshop Series. This book examines ascetic practices through an inter-sectarian and inter-doctrinal lens to identify the core themes that connect various forms of asceticism across Japan. Using a multidisciplinary methodology, the text combines deep participant fieldwork with a hermeneutical interpretation of the human body. The author provides unique insights gained from personal engagement in these very practices, treating the body as the primary site where embodied traditions are transmitted. This academic resource offers a deep look into how physical discipline shapes religious identity and tradition in Japan.
