This book calls for a reformation of the image of monotheism in studies of Japanese religions and in the study of religions in general. According to most scholars, ‘Japan’ and ‘monotheism’ mix like oil and water. Whatever Japanese religion is, we are told, the ‘Western’ category of monotheism cannot not be imposed.
