| Résumé: | Prior to the defect of Japan in the Second World War, the Japanese government had elevated Shinto to the level of state institution; following the defect, the occupation authorities disestablished state Shinto which they equated with militarism and ultranationalism. Shinto, as a result, lost its credibility as an ideology and as a religion. The article looks at the Shinto religion and its interaction with the Japanese state since 1945. (DÜI-Sen) |
