Meiji shrine is not just ‘a’ shrine; it is ‘the’ shrine of twentieth-century Japan. This book is also noteworthy on account of its use of previously untouched archival materials as well as for its broad range of theoretical approaches applied within a multidisciplinary context. The author uses Meiji shrine as a lens with which to investigate the nature of the society that created, experienced and reproduced this site. This long-overdue study will be widely welcomed by researchers interested in Shinto and Meiji Japan, as well as the wider readership wishing to access the social history of Taisho and early Showa Japan.Brill's Japanese Studies Library43.Architecture and societyJapanTokyoNationalism and architectureJapanTokyoNationalismReligious aspectsShintoTokyo (Japan)Buildings, structures, etcElectronic books.Architecture and societyNationalism and architectureNationalismReligious aspectsShinto.299.5/61350952135Imaizumi Yoshiko1029115MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452453603321Sacred space in the modern city2445373UNINA
