Shinto and the state, 1868-1988
Examines the Japanese state's involvement in and manipulation of shinto from the Meiji Restoration. This book shows why State shinto symbols, such as the Yasukuni Shrine and its prefectural branches, are the focus for bitter struggles over who will have the right to articulate their significance.
