Joseph Kitagawa, one of the founders of the field of history religions and an eminent scholar of the religions of Japan, published his classic book Religion in Japanese History in 1966. Since then, he has written number of extremely influential essays that illustrate approaches to the study of Japanese religious phenomena. This book makes available nineteen of these articles, important contributions to our understanding of Japan's intricate combination of indigenous Shinto, Confucianism, Taoism, the Yin-Yang School, Buddhism, and folk religion.
