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

这项研究是基于以前的调查。以下五个方面进行了调查：1。生驹的萨满; 2.萨满与客户之间的网络; 3.算命的; 4.生驹寺庙的牧师的魅力; 5.大坂地区的韩国寺庙（Chosen-dera）的仪式。结果如下：我们访问了石切神社的信徒，了解他们的宗教态度。第三类的因素分析、通径分析和定量分析表明，1971年以后，女性和中年以上的皈依者人数增加，家庭成员尤其是女性的鼓励是促使皈依的重要原因;精神力量在邪教组织的形成和维持中起着重要作用。通过学习获得的算命知识。他们的客户大多是中年以上的妇女，她们经常向他们寻求建议。对两座寺庙的案例研究表明，它们各自的首席牧师的魅力力量是其显著发展的原因。他们不仅是来世的先知，也是现世的顾问，他们得到了追随者的热情支持。这是第一次详细观察日本朝鲜寺庙的萨满教仪式的研究。分析了仪式中涉及的宇宙观以及萨满和信徒之间的网络。这有助于研究日本的朝鲜人社区。

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.
