Gendai Nippon on <Kuyoh Girei> no Jittaiteki Kenkyu (Fact-Finding INquiries of Services Held to Comfort and Calm Dowm Spirits in Contemporary Japan)

我们打算全面检查每个调查人员在过去两年中取得的结果，概念化新的宗教情况并给出它们的定义，并构建一个关于在日本举行的慰藉和安抚精神的服务的实况调查的整体研究。具体地说，我们协调和重新考虑了我们在这次研究中想出的“kuyo girei”的概念和定义，这是一项非常重要和艰巨的工作。由于每个研究人员花费了大量的时间来整理和完成他们的研究结果，所以我们不能在最后一年完成。随着每个研究人员和助理研究人员确定具体的调查主题，整个研究项目的最终结构已经确定。根据它的说法，首席调查员藤井雅夫负责“当代日本精神观念的转变”，并以“论久井久之”为总干事。具体内容大致分为两个部分，既有宗教部分和新宗教部分。在前一节中，将考察服务对象及其对动物、工具、宠物等服务的精神观念的转变。在后者中，文登州教派将水子教(为未出生婴儿的灵魂提供服务)作为传教和复兴教派的主要手段，山山修道派鼓励成员将逝去的家人的骨灰供奉在神圣的建筑中来存放死者的骨灰，天力教教派接受传统的宗教民俗，同时她将传播到传统的农业村庄。

We intended to comprehensively examine the results obtained in past two years by each of investigators, conceptualize new religious situations and give definitions of them and construct a whole research of the FACT-FINDING INQUIRIES OF SERVICES HELD TO COMFORT AND CALM DOWN SPIRITS INCONTEMPORARY JAPAN. Concretely speaking, it was a very important and hard work that we coordinated and reconsidered the concept and definition of the term "kuyo girei" (services held to comfort and calm down spirits in contemporary Japan) which we thought out at this research. We could not finish by the final year because each of investigators took a lot of time to arrange and complete their results of research.As each of investigators and assistant researchers decided concrete subjects of investigations, the final construction of total research project has been become definite. According to it, the head investigator, Masao Fujii takes charge of "a transformation of ideas of spirits in contemporary Japan" and "on kuyo girei" as the general. The details will be roughly divided into two sections, the part of established religions and the part of new religions. In the former section, clients and transformation of their ideas of spirits on services to animals, tools, pets and so on will be examined. In the latter, Bentenshu denomination uses mizuko kuyo (services to spirits of unborn babies) as main means of missions and revitalization of the sect, Shorokushito Yamatoyama denomination encourages members to enshrine the ashes of their dead families in the sacred building to house the ashes of the dead and Tenrikyo denomination accepts traditional religious folkways while she propagates into the traditional farming village will be researched.
