Keisei Hakugi kaidai, HOSHINO Seiji, 12, 33, 46, 01 Sep. 2019, This paper is explanatory notes on the journal Keisei Hakugi published from 1890 to 1892 and examines the contents of the journal as well as the contemporaneous contexts it situated. The lead author of the journal, Nakanishi Ushiro (1890-1892), influenced the buddhist reform movements at that time through his advocation of "new buddhism." One of the charactersitcs of the journal is that it carries both religious arguments and political arguments; the paper pointed out that Nakanishi at that time stood on the overwrapping point of "Buddhists" circle and "nationalists" circle.
Meiji zenki ni okeru bukkyōsha no kirisutokyō kan: Meikyō Shinshi wo chūshin ni, HOSHINO Seiji, 11, 1, 32, 01 Mar. 2019, This paper examines Buddhist views of Christianity around the 1880s, mainly through articles in Meikyo Shinshi, a representative trans-sectarian Buddhist newspaper. As a premise, anti-Christian sentiments prevailed, and there were few attempts to compare the two in terms of doctrines. However, there appeared arguments pointing out that Christians had advantages in the means of propagating their religion. Such views sometimes resulted in the claim that Buddhism must reform itself.

Reconfiguring Buddhism as a Religion: Nakanishi Ushirō and His Shin Bukkyō, HOSHINO Seiji, Japanese Religions, 34, 2, 133, 154, 01 Jul. 2009, This paper focuses on Nakanishi Ushiro, who was actively engaged in Buddhist reform movements in the mid-Meiji period, mainly through his writings. I argued that Nakanishi's advocation of "New Buddhism" could be understood as an attempt to reconfigure "Buddhism" as a new and desirable "religion"; he contrasted his "New Buddhism" as a rational and progressive religion with superstitious and conservative "Old Buddhism." While his attempts did not bear any remarkable results, his argument impacted his contemporaries and had transitional meaning in developing the concept of "religion" in modern Japan.

16K02190, 2016, JSPS, Japanese Buddhism and Kyoka during the Transition to the Modern Period, The purpose of this study is to reveal developments and metamorphoses of religion including Buddhism in the nineteenth century as a period of transition to modern thorough investigating the actual conditions of “kyoge / kyoka” (教化: teach and convert), “mission” and heathen exclusionism.In recent years, the studies on Japanese religions especially Buddhism in the early modern times or modern times have made great progress. However, most of these studies show tendency to stay their own fields based on the historical periodization.This study comprehensively rethought these research results of each age in “a sequence”, and described the religious world in the nineteenth century Japan with a focus on “practice” like “kyoge / kyoka”, which had shown big changes in a period of transition to modern.
15K02059, 2015, JSPS, Reconsideration of Public Discourses on Religion in the Early Meiji: Through Synchronic Examination of Religious Media, This study reconsidered the history of religions in modern Japan in the the broader context of modernity and religion through synchronic examination of religious media.;I published the table of contents of Meikyo shinshi, a Buddhist newspaper, from 1879 to 1891, and studied its characteristics. I examined articles of Rikugo Zasshi (The Cosmos), a Christian magazine, and compared several translated articles with the original English ones.;Regarding Buddhist views on Christianity in the early Meiji, while basic attitudes were very critical, there were some arguments reflectively claiming that Buddhists should learn from Christian activities, especially the method of propagation.
22320016, 2010, JSPS, A Comprehensive Study of the Universality and Locality of theConcept of Religion and Religious Studies, This study has attempted a comprehensive survey regarding the glocalization of the concept “religion” and that of religious studies, both of which had originated in the modern West. It has aimed to find out an alternative to the universal vantage point of Religionswissenschaft. The countries and regions covered are: Japan, China, South Korea, India, Southeast Asia, Middle Eastern Islamic countries, Israel, North America, Latin America and Europe.
21720023, 2009, JSPS, A Basic Study of Nakanishi Ushiro, In this research, I examined Nakanishi's argument, as well as gathering and digitizingbasic materials of Nakanishi.First, I digitized Nakanishi's Journal Keisei Hakugi, and added index to make it more usable for other scholars. Secondly, I found some new documents concerning Nakanishi through my field survey at Kumamoto and Tenri. With them, I came to understand the outline of his activities in his youth and his later life. Thirdly, I published one Japanese paper and one English paper, and made two presentations.
20320016, 2008, JSPS, The Discursive Space of an Intellectual Religious Movement in Modern Japan : a Study of the "Shin Bukkyo" Journal from the viewpoint of the History of Culture and Thought, In this research project we carried out a monographic study of the association called Bukkyo. Seito Doshikai(also known as Shin Bukkyoto Doshikai) and its periodical, Shin Bukkyo. While gathering biographical data on its members, we conducted research from varying perspectives. In doing so, we made clear the genealogy of the progressive Buddhists connected to the Shin Bukky? Movement as well as analyzed its character as a religious movement that relied upon the written press, radio broadcasting, and public lectures. In addition, we examined how the globalization of Buddhism was realized by both core members and sympathizers through its relationship with not only Europe and the United States but also Asian nations.

We also made a DVD report and we will publish an introductory book on modern Buddhism in Japan.
