Ceremony and ritual in Japan : religious practices in an industrialized society

edited by Jan van Bremen and D.P. Martinez

Japan is one of the most urbanised and industrialised countries in the world. Yet the Japanese continue to practise a variety of religious rituals and ceremonies that would appear to be at variance with the high-tech and highly regimented naturer of Japanese society. Ceremony and Ritual in Japan focuses on the traditional and religious aspects of Japanese society from ana anthropological perspective, presenting new material and making cross-cultural comparisons. The chapters in this collection cover topics as diverse as funerals and mourning, sweeping, women's roles in ritual, the division of ceremonial foods into bitter and sweet, the history of a shrine, the playing of games, the exchnage of towels and the relationshiop between ceremony and the workplace. The book provides an overview of the meaning of tradition, and looks at the way in which new ceremonies have sprung up in changing circumstances, while old ones have been preserved, or have developed new meanings.
