Anotace knihy

Yasukuni is a Shintoist shrine where imperial Japan s§war dead are §enshrined. It has become an increasingly notorious§location over the §last five decades because it houses, among its 2.5§million deities, §the spirits of a dozen Class-A war criminals. Despite§this fact, §regardless of constitutional bans, and in the face of§a reproachful §national and international audience, a number of§Japanese prime §ministers have insisted on presenting offerings§there. "Rethinking §Yasukuni From Secular Politics to Religious§Sacrifice" is the first §English-written monograph that examines the shrine as a §predominantly religious location. This publication is§also based on §one of the few anthropological fieldworks that has§been carried out §at Yasukuni, and thus offers novel ethnographic§insights. Moreover, §because it attempts to approach the shrine from an§evolutionary and §cognitive point of view, "Rethinking Yasukuni"§touches on key issues §in the current history of religions.
