Japanese shamanism

The book by Japanese anthropologist Kunio Yanagita is devoted to the study of the fundamental cultural dichotomy of the Japanese people - the dichotomy of Buddhism and shamanism. Working with the national mentality of Japan in the era of change, which created a host of fortune-tellers, soothsayers, magicians, etc., Yanagita tried to understand the dichotomy of Buddhism and shamanism, Yanagita tried to make sense of this diversity of intermediaries between "normal people" and the subtle worlds, to separate true shamans from charlatans, as well as to understand the essence, purpose, and origin of the phenomenon of shamanism and to describe the palette of its local manifestations.The translation presented in this edition by N. A. Nevsky, a Soviet Japanist who also considered shamanism an important key to understanding religious consciousness, is published for the first time from the materials of the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
