概要 | This article posits an explanation for Japanese religious pluralism from a geographical perspective through the study of villages on Hirado Island in agasaki Prefecture, including former Hidden Christ...ian villages. In these villages, different religions assume limited roles to meet the residents’ basic ritual demands. The latter are based on a spatially structured worldview of the village as a unified arrangement according to the specific situation of each village. For such demands the entire community and all households are regarded as “customers.” In contrast, priests as “business professionals” have their own “customer areas” and skillfully maintain their livelihood through competition and negotiation among themselves. For the residents, these priests or religions are inter-changeable for the rituals of shrines and other religious sites. Both residents and priests are tolerant of this coexistence of multiple religions within the villages, households, and even for individuals, insofar as the priests sufficiently meet the residents’ basic demands, with both residents and priests maintaining smooth relationships on the island.続きを見る |
