| Abstract | Modernist cultural nationalism--the reactionary sense that Japanese culture is tied to some "essential" ethnic characteristic of the Japanese--has had a marked impact on the hermeneutics of modern Japanese Buddhism (and other aspects of Japanese culture) both inside and outside Japan. As a result，20th century interpretations of Japanese Buddhist traditions often have tended to be culturally politicized，occasionally in passionate ways. This is an aspect of Japanese Buddhism that foreigners who read about the subject in English have not been able clearly to understand. A case in point is Suzuki Daisetsu Teitaro (known in the West as D.T. Suzuki)，probably the most famous and influential single apologist for Zen Buddhism (and possibly for Mahayana Buddhism in general)，who wrote in English in the mid-twentieth century. Suzuki's association with cultural nationalism has been reemphasized in some recent criticism. This article takes up the specific question of possible relationships between Suzuki's alleged cultural nationalism and his English-language depiction of Jodo Shinshu (Shinshu or Shin) Buddhism.
