Historical Studies on the Separation of Shinto and Buddhism and on the Changes of Landscape Focusing on Buddhist Temples and Shinto Shrines in the sacred city of Ise

我们的研究项目阐明了从江户时代到明治维新之初，伊势神社所在的圣城伊势神社的宗教转型。由于1670年灾难性的大火，伊势岛的许多佛教寺庙被烧毁。许多寺庙被迫迁入城镇周围的一些地段，此外，寺庙的重新调整也被强制执行。在神道教和佛教分离的时候，许多佛教寺庙消失了。为了弄清这一情况，我们查阅了与伊斯早期现代有关的文件和旧地图。因此，我们弄清楚了消失的寺庙的历史和位置，并在旧地图上展示了它们。

Our research project clarified the religious transformation of Ise, the sacred city, where the Grand Shrines of Ise are located, from the Edo period through the beginning of the Meiji Restoration. Because of the disastrous fire in 1670, a lot of Buddhist temples were burnt down in Ise. Many temples were forced to move into some sections around the town, furthermore the readjustment of temples was enforced. At the separation of Shinto and Buddhism many Buddhist temples went missing. To clarify this situation, we examined the documents and the old maps related to the early modern times of Ise. As the result, we made clear the history and the location of the vanished temples, and showed them on the old maps.
