Religion in Japan
​

CLASS NOTES

Example Film Projects

​Course Description
Japan is somewhat mysterious with respect to religion. On the one hand, nearly all Japanese deny being religious. On the other hand, most Japanese still participate in religious rituals, and religious places, festivals, and objects of worship can be seen at almost at every turn. This introductory course seeks to contextualize and penetrate the religious landscape of Japan. Our hope is to both explore the general patterns in religiosity in this country and to understand the various trends in religious behavior.
