Religious Life in Japan
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 November 2011
Extract
The cult of family ancestors in Japan is of fundamental importance in the religious life of the people. Though less deeply rooted than in China it still remains of vital consequence, for a large majority of the Japanese people continue to observe its rites, and even in 1911 official measures were taken for the purpose of encouraging ancestor worship as essential to the perpetuation of the national ideals.
