| 摘要 | This thesis examines the life and thought of Yamamoto Sumika, the founder of Shinzankai, a Japanese new-new religion that originated from and is closely related to the contemporary popular culture. Coming from a secular background, manga creator Yamamoto legitimized herself as a spiritual leader and established her group as a religion in a largely conservative society by claiming to have been contacted by Shinto gods and by adopting a number of rites from Shinto. However, while Shinzankai practices are mostly traditional, Yamamoto's thought is syncretic--a fusion of Shinto, Buddhism, Japanese new and new-new religions as well as Western enlightenment thought, pasted in an original way, and coated in a language her followers can understand. Three elements specifically show the influence of Western enlightenment on Yamamoto's thought: (1) the shaman's rejection of institutionalism, (2) her call for individualism, and (3) her gender awareness. |
