15H03161, Comprehensive Research on Understandings of Antiquity During the Fascist Era, This research project takes up fascism as a phenomenon that expresses the distinctive characteristics of its era and explores from a comparative perspective the understandings of antiquity and mythology during that era. The project focused on religionists, researchers, and intellectuals during these years primarily in those countries that had direct experience with fascism: Japan, Germany, Italy, and Romania. The research also included surveys of relevant historic sites and monuments. The project's findings revealed that fascism was even more of a global phenomenon than had been supposed. Planning is now underway to publish the results of our studies as a collection of articles that will bring together the perspectives of all the researchers who participated in the project.
15H03160, Regional Studies on Religion and Well-being in depopulating Japan, This research aims to study how Japanese religions function on the well-being of regional residents who suffer industry decline and depopulation, by social survey, holding international workshops, and publishing influential papers and the book, Shiawase no shukyogaku ( Religious Studies on Well-being) from Hozokan publishing.;Main finding is that although religious corporations such as a temple, shrine, and church declined due to aging of members and regional depopulation, some religions functioned to make social capital in regions by social actions which involved residents into religious events and members of religions into regional activities in reverse.
23520087, History of Research on Japanese Mythology in Foreign Countries and Reevaluation of Japanese Mythology in the Contemporary World, Before the Pacific War, Japanese mythology was taught in schools for ideological purpose. Due to such wrong usage, after the war, study and education of Japanese mythology has been avoided not only in schools but also in universities. The advancement of mythological studies in other countries however has been quite remarkable: collaborating with other branches of sciences such as archaeology, genetics and phylogeography, comparative mythology is now an important field for the reconstruction of human history. Working together with mythologists of other countries, we introduced the latest stage of research in Japanese academia through publication and at the same time emphasized the cultural importance of Japanese mythology for world culture. Japanese mythology preserves the ancient common mythological structure remarkably well. It deserves more serious collaborated research in Japan, too. Our researchm we hope, could be the first step toward a such larger project.
23320018, A General Study of Materials Used in Religious Culture Education, Our research has found that using online teaching materials can be extremely effective for carrying out religious culture education. The materials that were produced over the course of our research have been made available through our website. They include commentaries on the basic texts used in religious culture education, a database of world heritage properties associated with religious culture, a database related to film and religious culture, and a database of museums in Japan that are particularly useful for religious culture education.;Discussions at forums with an international framework and at study meetings attended by scholars from many Japanese universities have also made it clear that religious culture education has become an important issue in the context of ongoing globalization. Various initiatives are being undertaken grounded in the religious cultures of the countries concerned.
23320015, Comparative Study of the Relationship between Fascism and Religious Cultures in Different Regions and Times, The aim of this research project was to elucidate the relationship between fascism as a political phenomenon and religious culture in different regions and times. In this project we addressed chiefly three problems: 1) the religious character of fascist movements and cultures, 2) studies of religion and myth in the fascist era, 3) the relationship between fascism and various (especially pre-fascist) religious movements. Our study of these issues enabled us to clarify the complexity and variability found in the relationships between fascist movements and religious cultures.
20242002, Construction of a Quality-Assuring System for Higher Education about Religious Culture, This research project aimed to establish a quality-assuring system for higher education in the field of religious studies (the term "education about religious culture" has been coined to name religious studies-based education as distinguished from theology-based education). In particular, it planned, on the one hand, to develop an inter-college evaluation system ("shukyo-bunkashi" system) based upon provisional, subject benchmark standards. On the other hand, it attempted to build a clearinghouse for college teachers in religious studies programs, which provides them with practical teaching methods and materials.;The project was carried out by seven working groups, each of which was comprised of the leading members of religious studies programs from more than twenty universities, including both national and private. Its major achievements are : a fact-finding survey of education about religious culture in undergraduate curricula ; needs analyses focusing on students' and corporate expectations for a "shukyo-bunkashi", a qualified specialist in religious culture; the foundation of the inter-college evaluation system of "shukyo-bunkashi" ; the launching of an on-line clearinghouse for teaching materials.;In order to make the results publicly accessible, the project has issued quarterly newsletters as well as held several international symposia, lectures and workshops.
