Recently I read your article on religions and marginalization and wanted to glean your thoughts on the idea that Japanese culture has a systemic way of controlling religion. Recently I finished my field work on the RQ of a Japanese perception of biblical monotheism. Participants suggested that any kind of deity concept, (poly or mono) is subsumed in religion (private) and religion is subsumed in culture (public). Lemay (2010, 2014, 2018) studies on how culture in Japan hinders religious freedoms in Filipino/Japanese children. In my literature review I came into contact with the theory of “Japaneseness” (nihonjinron) and sense that this is what makes Japanese answers to religious questions seem so homogenous, as if they only have one pool of information to draw from. I’d be curious of your thoughts, or if you sensed any cultural models of hinderance to any religious idea that was not the norm.
Sincerely Chris Sadowitz

Thank you for your question Tomi. I started studying religion in Japan over 20 years ago. The collaborative project mentioned above run from 2019-2021.
