: Gods without names : the genesis of modern Shinto in nineteenth century Japan
"Yijiang Zhong analyses the formation of Shinto as a complex and diverse religious
tradition in early modern Japan, 1600-1868. Highlighting the role of the god Okuninushi
and the mythology centered on the Izumo Shrine in western Japan as part of this process,
he shows how and why this god came to be ignored in State Shinto in the modern period.
In doing so, Zhong moves away from the traditional understanding of Shinto history
as something completely internal to the nation of Japan, and instead situates the
formation of Shinto within a larger geopolitical context involving intellectual and
political developments in the East Asian region and the role of western colonial expansion.
The Origin of Modern Shinto in Japan draws extensively on primary source materials
in Japan, many of which were only made available to the public less than a decade
ago and have not yet been studied. Source materials analysed include shrine records
and object materials, contemporary written texts, official materials from the national
and provincial levels, and a broad range of visual sources based on contemporary prints,
drawings, photographs and material culture"
