Empirical Study Concerning Complex Structure of Rligion in Japan and Relgious Behavior of Urban People

这项研究是基于先前的一项调查。调查了以下五个方面：1。伊科马的萨满；2. 萨满和客户之间的网络；3. 算命先生;4. Ikoma寺庙祭司的魅力；5. 大阪地区韩国寺庙的仪式。结果如下：我们采访了石尻神社的信徒，了解他们的宗教态度。因子分析、路径分析和第三类量化方法揭示了两组截然不同的态度。一项邮件调查显示，1971年后，女性和中老年皈依者的数量有所增加；皈依的一个重要原因是家庭成员的鼓励，尤其是女性；这种精神力量在邪教组织的形成和维持中起着重要作用。研究发现，算命的人多为中年以上，他们的算命知识是通过学习得来的。他们的大多数客户都是中年以上的女性，她们经常寻求他们的建议。对两座寺庙的案例研究表明，各自的首席祭司的魅力力量是他们显著发展的原因。他们不仅是另一个世界的先知，也是这个世界的顾问，他们有他们的追随者的热心支持。这是第一次详细观察在日本的韩国寺庙的萨满教仪式。分析了仪式中涉及的宇宙论以及萨满与追随者之间的网络。这对研究在日韩人社会有很大的帮助。

This study is based on a previous survey. The following five areas were investigated: 1. the shamans of Ikoma; 2. the networks between shamans and clients; 3. fortune-tellers; 4. the charisma of the priests of Ikoma temples; 5. the rituals of the Korean temples (Chosen-dera) in the Osaka area. The results are as follows.We interviewed the followers of Ishikiri Shrine about their religious attitudes. Factor analysis, path analysis, and quantificalion method of the third type revealed two distinct sets of attitudes.A mail survey revealed that the number of female and upper-middle-aged converts increased after 1971; that a significant reason for conversion is encouragement of family members, especially female; and that spiritual power plays an important role in formation and maintenance of cultic groups.Fortune-tellers were found to be middle-aged and over, with knowledge of fortune-telling acquired through study. Most of their clients were women of middle age and over who regularly sought their advice.Case studies of two temples revealed that the charismatic power of their respective head priests was responsible for their remarkable development. They are not only other-worldly prophets but also this-worldly advisors, and they have the avid support of their followers.This was the first study to observe in detail the shamanistic rituals of the Korean temples in Japan. The cosmology involved in the rituals and the networks between shamans and followers were analysed. This contributed to the study of the Korean community in Japan.
