A Study of Religious Tenacity and Transformation in relation to Acculturation

objec * 1。1991年7月底，在长崎、索姆、平户和Ikutsuki进行了为期一周的实地考察，以补充1989年对后户后户隐蔽基督徒的调查。研究人员通过采访一位年长的乔卡塔人或村里的老人，获得了有关这些地区13世纪宗教和解仪式（如双葬仪式）的宝贵知识。结果是：koyama教授开阔了日本文化与基督教关系的视野。mineshima教授通过对大学宗教教育问题的研究，展示了现代化与反现代化之间的斗争。谷口教授通过对日本神道教与哈西德教相遇的考察，证明了宗教共存的可能性。堀越教授分析了罗马帝国爆发前10世纪德国的宗教偶像，以追溯德国接受基督教的过程。加藤教授通过对人约的思考，考察了佛教与神道融合的基本宗教意义。田岛教授从禅宗与德国神秘主义的互动中，提出了用语言表达宗教经验的可能性。最后，首席调查员上田教授不仅研究了接受基督教所带来的德国民间传说的变化，还挖掘了德国已灭绝的宗教习俗，并将文化适应与宗教符号系统联系起来，阐明了其特点。因此，到目前为止的研究已经证明，文化适应与宗教意识的变化是并行的，这一事实将在稍后出版的一本书中进行详细而系统的描述。

The objec*1. Toward the end of July 1991, a week's fieldwork was conducted in Nagasaki, Sotome, Hirato and Ikutsuki to supplement the investigation of the Hidden Christians in Gotoh-retto carried out in 1989. The researchers obtained valuable knowledge of the13EA\ : ceremonies of religious reconciliation such as the Double-burial rites in these districts through an interview with an old Choh-kata or village senior.2. The results were as follows : Prof.KOYAMA broadened his view on the relations between Japanese culture and Christianity. Prof.MINESHIMA demonstrated the struggle between modernization and anti-modernization by studying the problem of religious ed13EA\ : ucation in colleges. Prof.TANIGUCHI proved the possibility of religious co-existence through an examination of the encounter of Japanese Jodo-shinshu with Hasidism. Prof.HORIKOSHI analyzed tenth century religious icons in Germany just before the Rom13EA\ : anesque to trace the process of the acceptance of Christianity in Germany. Prof.KATO examined the basic religious sense in the fusion of Buddhism and Shintoism through considering Rennyo. Prof.TAJIMA suggested the possibility of verbalizing religiou13EA\ : s experiences from a consideration of the interaction between Zen and German mysticism. Lastly, the head investigator Prof.UEDA not only researched both the changes of German folklore which the acceptance of Christianity brought about and the excava13EA\ : tion of German extinct religious practices, but also made overall efforts in relating acculturation with religious symbol-systems and clarified its characteristics.3. Thus the research so far has proved that acculturation goes in parallel with a change of religious consciousness, which fact will be described rhoroughly and systematically in a book to be published later.
