| مستخلص: |
Janine Anderson Sawada's book, "Faith in Mount Fuji: The Rise of Independent Religion in Early Modern Japan," examines the development of Fujikō, a religious movement in early modern Japan. The movement originated from lay associations centered around pilgrimage to Mount Fuji and eventually became a more formal religious system. Sawada explores the categorization of Fujikō as a popular religion and delves into various aspects of the movement, including rituals, criticism of religious policies, and the suicide of its leader. The article focuses on Jikigyō, a religious leader in early modern Japan, and his beliefs and role in the Fujikō movement. Jikigyō advocated for cooperation between social classes and believed in the concept of the "Age of Miroku," a period of spiritual and social renewal. He criticized the worship of multiple deities and the financial gain of Buddhist religious professionals, rejecting paid ritual services and promoting frugality and compassion. The article also discusses Jikigyō's ritual suicide on Mount Fuji and the subsequent popularity of the Fujikō movement. It provides valuable insights into religious life during the Edo period and the relationship between merchant life and religious practices. [Extracted from the article] |
