A sociological study of Korean's Commitments to Japanese Religions in Japan

我的研究成果总结如下：(1)居住在日本最大的韩国人聚居区郁野区（大阪市区）的韩国人的葬礼，在日本传统佛教寺庙举行的比率高达90%。82%的寺庙接受了他们的葬礼。但是，这个仪式是韩国儒教仪式和日本佛教仪式的结合。(2)韩国人因为是世联的成员，所以自然而然地就被称为Ujiko（信地教团的成员）。他们向神社捐款。然而，他们在Ujiko-kai（神社聚集的组织）中没有担任任何重要职务。因此，我承认他们与神社管理的决策过程疏远了。他们不仅参加神社祭典（正月祭、腊月祭等），而且还要求神社祭司执行他们的生命周期仪式（七重山结婚服务等）和其他祝福仪式（jichinsai、jotoshiki等）。(3)在郁野地区，日本新兴宗教团体正在煽动韩国信徒。而且，我们推测S'6kagakkai有大约3300名韩国信徒，Suky-&Mattikari也有大约1000名信徒。每个数字都相当于所有信徒的33%。但是，天理教的韩国信徒只有140人。因此，可以说，新成立的宗教团体中，韩国信徒比老团体多。

The summary of my research results are as follows ;(1) The funeral rite of Koreas living in Ikuno-ku (a ward of Osaka city), the largest Korean residential area in Japan, is performed in Japanese traditional Buddhist temples at the rate of 90 percents. And, 82 percents of tlie temples[tave accepted their funeral rites. B ut, the rite is a compromise between a Korean Confucianist rite and a Japanese Buddhist one.(2) The Koreans are automatically Ujiko (the members of Shinti slirine), because of their Chonaikai memberships. And, they donate to the shrine. Nevertheless, they do not occupy any important post in Ujiko-kai (tlie orgadization of shrine coiigregation). So, I recognize they are alienated from the decision-making process, of shrine administration. They not only attend shrine festivals (hatsumode, natsumatsuri, ete.) but also request shrine-priest to perform their life-cycle rituals (shichigosan marriage service, ete.) and other blessing rites (jichinsai, jotoshiki, etec).(3) There are some Japanese new religious groups inciteding many Korean believers in Ikuno-ku. And, we presume S'6kagakkai has about 3, 300 Korean believers, and Suky-&Mattikari has also about 1, 000 believers. Tile each numl)er is equal to 33 percents of all believers. But, Tenrikyii has only 140 Korean believers. S o, l can say that newly founded new religous groups tend to include more Korean believers than old ones.
