Total Research for Religious Bodies in Modern Japan

我们在1986年和1987年对现代日本的宗教团体进行了全面的研究。我们处理了神道教、九叶教、佛教宗派(津道神社、日仁宗、索托派、神道教)、基督教教派和新宗教(Konkoukyou、Tenrikyou)。我们收集了尽可能多的数据并进行了分析。我们还在东京银座和大阪内田进行了实地考察，以了解城市化与宗教团体之间的关系。现在，科学技术的发展已经在动态地改变着日本社会。宗教团体也受到了这一趋势的影响。我们很容易发现宗教团体在两个方面的转变。其一是铀酸化的影响。城市化已经改变了现代的宗教状况。二是利用新媒体，特别是视觉媒体，振兴神道和佛教。我们得出的结论是，宗教局势一直在动态变化，我们对宗教的理解必须根据目前的宗教局势而改变。

We did the total research for religious bodies in modern Japan in 1986 and 1987. We dealt with Jinzya-Shinto, Kyouha(Sect)-Shinto, Buddhism Sects( Zyuudoshinshuu honganji-sect, Nichiren-sect, Soto-sect, Shingon-myousinji-sect ), Christian-sects, and New Religions( Konkoukyou, Tenrikyou ). We gathered the data as many as possible and analyzed. We also did the field work in Tokyo Ginza and Osaka Umeda to Know the relationship between the urbanaization and religiou bodies. Now the development of the thecnology has been changing japanese society dynamically. Religious bodies also has been effected by that trend. We find easyly the transformation of religious bodies in two respects. One is the effect of urabanization. Urbaniazation has transformed the moderan religious situation. Another is the revitalization of Shinto and Buddhist sect by useing the new media, especially visual media. We concluded that the religious situation has been changing dynamically and our understanding of religion has to change according to the present religious situation.
