Description

Explore the connection between tradition and modernity in one of the most urbanized nations on earth. Ceremony and Ritual in Japan examines how religious practices and ceremonies persist within a high-tech, highly regimented industrial society. Published as part of the Nissan Institute/Routledge Japanese Studies series, this collection provides a deep anthropological look at the rituals that shape Japanese life. This book presents new material and uses cross-cultural comparisons to help readers understand the religious aspects of Japanese society. From the way people handle funerals and mourning to the specific roles women play in ritual, the text covers a wide range of social behaviors. It also investigates daily practices like sweeping and the specific ways ceremonial foods are divided. This is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in how ancient traditions adapt to a modern, industrial world.
