The re-examination on the influence of the Occupation by AlliedPowers to the Religious system and Religions in Japan, Okinawa and Korea

本研究旨在对1945年日本战败后新发现的有关日本、冲绳和朝鲜被占领的史料和文献进行研究、搜集和分析，并重新审视其对各地区宗教制度和宗教本身的影响。笔者与本研究的共同研究者淡津访问了美国和冲绳，发现了各种未公开的历史文献，可以揭示不为人知的社会事实。其中之一是1948年由主要传统宗教团体成立的第三文明党，这是自上次战争结束以来的第一个宗教政党。另一个是在冲绳，1939年颁布的宗教组织法继续存在，并影响到宗教法人的形成，直到1972年。在最后一次与同盟国的战斗中，淡津特别参与了恢复死者遗骸的工作，并发现了具有讽刺意味的事实，即即使在那霸中心地区，由于冲绳的重建项目得到了日本政府的财政支持，这项工作也不得不继续进行数年，其作品也激发了人们对抗战悲剧的记忆和与大陆民族主义不同或对立的地方民族主义。

This study is to do research, to collect and to analyze, the newly discovered historicalmaterials and documents of concerning the Occupation of Japan, Okinawa and Korea after the defeat of the last war in 1945 and re-examine its influence to Religious system and religions themselves in each area. I and Awazu, the joint researcher of thisstudy, visited the US and Okinawa, and found various unpublished historical documents and could disclose unknown social facts. One of them is the foundation of the Third Civilization Party by major traditional religious bodies in 1948, which was the first religious political party since the end of the last war. The other is that in Okinawa the Religious Organizations Law enacted in 1939 continued to exist and influenced the formation of religious juridical persons until 1972. Awazu especially participated into the works of recovering the remains of the dead during the last fight against Allied Powers, and found ironical facts that the works were e even in the central area of Naha and have to be continued for some years as redevelopment projects of Okinawa were promoted by financial support from the Japan national government, and its works also stimulate the memories of the tragedy of the fight and the prefectural nationalism different from or opposed to the one in mainland.
