The Perspective of Psychosomatic Medicine on the Effect of Religion on the Mind–Body Relationship in Japan
Journal of Religion and Health, 2014Co-Authors: Mutsuhiro Nakao, Chisin OharaAbstract:Shintoism, Buddhism, and Qi, which advocate the unity of mind and body, have contributed to the Japanese philosophy of life. The practice of psychosomatic medicine emphasizes the connection between mind and body and combines the psychotherapies (directed at the mind) and relaxation techniques (directed at the body), to achieve stress management. Participation in religious activities such as preaching, praying, meditating, and practicing Zen can also elicit relaxation responses. Thus, it is time for traditional religions to play an active role in helping those seeking psychological stability after the Great East Japan Earthquake and the ongoing crisis related to the nuclear accident in Fukushima, Japan, to maintain a healthy mind–body relationship.

sacred mountains of buddhism and Shintoism and whaling culture in the kansai kinki regions
2018Co-Authors: Mayumi ItohAbstract:This chapter visits Kumano, in the southern part of the Kansai-Kinki Region (central-western Honshū, which includes Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara), where Japanese classical whaling is said to have originated. The monument made there in 1671 is the oldest existing monument for whales in Japan. Field research highlights internationally known Taiji, which was the center of the Kishū Classical Whaling Base, one of the four major Japanese classical whaling bases. The region is also famous for the “Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range,” registered as UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Shintoist wedding ceremony in Japan: an invented tradition:
Media Culture & Society, 1999Co-Authors: Kiyoshi ShidaAbstract:The Shintoist wedding ceremony in Japan is a typical invented tradition. It began in the 20th century and, in its early years, it seemed to the Japanese a phenomenon of modernization and the anti-traditional. The truly traditional Japanese wedding ceremony took a long time and involved many steps of complicated rituals, involved high expense to both families, and often finished in a vulgar or unsophisticated manner. However, the invented ceremony involved none of these things. It was short and simple, economical and solemn. The intentions of its inventors were modernistic and nationalistic, but the ceremony was accepted because of its convenience. As long as it seemed new and anti-traditional, it was supported by the urban salaried workers and government officials, including military officers, who were the constructors of modern Japan but who hadn't changed the traditional wedding ceremony. The development of the Shintoist wedding ceremony came after the Second World War. High economic growth changed the ...

Tracing Shintoism in Japanese nature-based domestic tourism experiences
Taylor & Francis Group, 2018Co-Authors: Young-sook Lee, Seiichi Sakuno, Nina Prebensen, Kazuhiko KimuraAbstract:This study explores into Japanese cultural meaning of nature. The paper studies Japanese domestic tourists to a mountain trail near Tokyo. East Asian concept of nature distinctively identifies itself as a unity between nature and humanity. To gain a more defining understanding of Shintoism-inspired meaning of nature, we surveyed on the meaning of nature, experiences and benefits sought and type of things they wanted to see during their visit. Two-stage content analysis identify two themes that are indicative characteristics of Shintoism; woods/forests and Kami (gods). While there is shared notion of nature within the East Asian meaning of nature, Japanese appear to have Shintoism-influenced concept of nature, distinct from other East Asian countries. Implications for future research are provided
