Chinese Gods with Japanese Soul: Localization of Chinese Folk Religion in Tokugawa Japan
This book is a pioneering study of the indigenization of Chinese folk beliefs in Japan during the Tokugawa period (1603-1868). Through the case study of eight "Han Gods", this book explores how Chinese folk beliefs in Modern Japan are different in images, legends, literature, sacrificial forms, and artistic expressions from those in China.
