A une époque de Zen au rabais, déformé et méconnaissable, qui intéresse jusqu'à la publicité dans un monde avide de spiritualité orientale, la " religion japonaise " - shintô ? Bouddhisme ? Les deux ? - Reste encore, à plus d'un égard, un terrain à découvrir. L'ambition de cette chrestomathie est de faire connaître au lecteur les courants majeurs de l'histoire religieuse du Japon, allant de " l'âge des dieux ", où " arbres et plantes disaient des choses " [=partie A] jusqu'au seuil du Moyen Age, i.e. la fin du XIIe siècle qui vit l'éclosion du syncrétisme shintô- bouddhique dans le " pays des prodiges du Sutra du Lotus " [=partie B]. Les auteurs proposent donc - loin des synthèses expéditives ou des regards particularisants -, une initiation concrète et immédiate à la mentalité religieuse japonaise, en s'appuyant sur un choix de textes littéraires, historiques, liturgiques et doctrinaux, presque tous traduits pour la première fois en langue française. Narration mythologique, prières et chants rituels, histoires morales et miraculeuses aux personnages fort attachants [notables, clergé et petit peuple], hymnes en éloge aux bouddhas et bodhisattvas : tout concourt à familiariser le lecteur avec une pensée parfois lointaine, parfois étrangement proche, voire universelle ; pensée propre à l'homme dans sa nature, ses faiblesses et ses aspirations religieuses de tout temps.

Monsters, ghosts, fantastic beings, and supernatural phenomena of all sorts haunt the folklore and popular culture of Japan. Broadly labeled yokai, these creatures come in infinite shapes and sizes, from tengu mountain goblins and kappa water spirits to shape-shifting foxes and long-tongued ceiling-lickers. Currently popular in anime, manga, film, and computer games, many yokai originated in local legends, folktales, and regional ghost stories. Drawing on years of research in Japan, Michael Dylan Foster unpacks the history and cultural context of yokai, tracing their roots, interpreting their meanings, and introducing people who have hunted them through the ages. In this delightful and accessible narrative, readers will explore the roles played by these mysterious beings within Japanese culture and will also learn of their abundance and variety through detailed entries, some with original illustrations, on more than fifty individual creatures. The Book of Yokai provides a lively excursion into Japanese folklore and its ever-expanding influence on global popular culture. It also invites readers to examine how people create, transmit, and collect folklore, and how they make sense of the mysteries in the world around them. By exploring yokai as a concept, we can better understand broader processes of tradition, innovation, storytelling, and individual and communal creativity.

This examination of death rituals in early Japan finds in the practice of double burial a key to understanding the Taika Era (645-710 A.D.). Drawing on narratives and poems from the earliest Japanese texts--the Kojiki, the Nihonshoki, and the Man'yoshu, an anthology of poetry--it argues that double burial was the center of a manipulation of myth and ritual for specific ideological and factional purposes. "This volume has significantly raised the standard of scholarship on early Japanese and Man'yoshu studies."--Joseph Kitagawa "So convincing is the historical and religious thought displayed here, it is impossible to imagine how anyone can ever again read these documents in the old way."--Alan L. Miller, The Journal of Religion "A central resource for historians of early Japan."--David L. Barnhill, History of Religions
