Abstract | Cultural identity seems to be very much individual, subjective, vague and fl uid although collective identity in a group is also referred to as cultural identity. Japanese people had to have religious identity as Buddhists in the Edo period because everyone was affi liated to a Buddhist monastery. Although it is almost impossible to preserve religious identity in the process of modernization, it is necessary for Japanese Buddhism to provide with satisfactory supply of religious supports. I would like to look into the history of Buddhism in Japan to fi nd out why Buddhism does not meet the religious demand from Japanese people. In this presentation, I will talk about the characteristics of Japanese cultural identity with regard to religions, especially Buddhism. |
