Yasukuni Part Two: Religion and the State

The post war period is the first time that the Japanese government was forced to separate from religion, not for selfless reasons but according to its own laws and to preserve the existence of the Japanese State. Today we are going to explore how Yasukuni and its branches navigated the post war separation of State and Religion. We are going to look at some of the Legal cases that set precedent and how the vast majority of the government has tried to ignore those rulings. Further Reading: To Dream of Dreams (Book) David M.

Tengu of Japan

The Tengu, there are few folk creatures as iconic in Japan as the Tengu. Seen throughout Art, film, comics and Television the Tengu is as characteristic to Japan as Leprechauns are to Ireland. But I want to take a deeper look into what Tengu are and where they came from? Tengu are creatures of folklore and that means what they are is fluid and decentralized, always open to the particularities of each instance of them. But we have to start somewhere so we will be focusing on two points in time. The earliest forms on Tengu that appear in the Late Heian Period and Early Kamakura period and their use in late 19th early 20th century Kokugaku rhetoric. Today, we’re doing it all. History, Buddhism, Japanese Nationalism and at the center of it all, Tengu the bird people of Japan.
