Excerpt from Japan, the Place and the People Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Japan to the United States. The rapid progress which the Japanese Empire has made within a comparatively brief period seems to be a source of surprise to foreign observers. They apparently believe that Japan has sprung almost at a single bound from mediaeval barbarism to modern civilisation. Only two score and ten years ago Europeans and Americans had nothing but the vaguest ideas concerning the Empire and its people. It is perhaps natural that they should now be astonished when they behold Japan in full enjoyment of the comity of nations, amply proving her capacity to administer constitutional government and justifying her title to all international rights and privileges. Yet no edifice of any permanence can be built upon a foundation of sand. The present advance of Japan, however marvellous it may appear at first sight, is nothing more than the normal development of the national life, facilitated by favourable environment and accelerated by opportune circumstances. It seems unfortunate, however, that the exploits of arms which have marked her recent history should be apparently the principal cause of the world's discovery that her obscurity was undeserved; because it may very easily happen that in the over-zealous estimation of such martial achievements other and equally meritorious attributes of the empire's general progress will be either forgotten or ignored. The Japanese Empire had originally great advantages over other Asiatic States in several respects. Its foundation is peculiar and unique, and owes nothing to conquest or aggression. The Empire is established upon the concord of the governing and the governed: the boundless love and benevolent care of the Throne and the loyal deference and dignified obedience of the people. The lineal succession of one dynasty has continued unbroken for 2,560 years, from the coronation of the first Emperor down to the present sovereign, during which long period the country, though not quite free from occasional disturbances of its prosperity, has never been confronted by anything like revolution in its proper sense. Such a catastrophe as a Norman invasion or Napoleonic devastation has been unknown; nor has an English Commonwealth or French Directory ever been dreamed of.

National surveys indicate that most Japanese, while professing no religious commitment, frequently perform rituals: They regularly tend their family home altars, look after family graves, participate in neighborhood festivals, and visit Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Are these rituals mere formalities? Based on fourteen months of fieldwork in Kamakura city near Tokyo, Satsuki Kawano examines the power of ritual and its relevance for modern urbanites. She reveals the indebtedness of ritual to forms that create an elevated context and infuse the mundane with a sense of moral order. By employing acts and environments common to everyday life, Kawano argues, ritual evokes morally positive values such as purity, gratitude, respect, and indebtedness. Rather than objectify morality in a sacred text or religious doctrine, ritual embodies and emplaces a sense of what it means to be a good person and creates moments of personal significance and engagement. In Kamakura, belief is therefore a consequence and not a prerequisite of ritual engagement. Ritual Practice in Modern Japan effectively challenges the widespread assumption that ritual in non-Western societies has little moral significance and that, with modernization, "traditional" practices inevitably disappear. This is a book that will interest scholars and students of cultural anthropology, ritual studies, and Japanese studies.
