| 摘要 | In 1893, the World’s Parliament of Religions was held in Chicago together with the World Columbian Exposition. Both events received much attention and had a great influence both contemporarily and afterwards. During the Parliament, Japanese Buddhism was introduced to the American audience by a delegation of Japanese Buddhists. One of the Buddhist delegates, Hirai Kinza, criticized Christian missionaries for contributing to the imperialistic cultural invasion of Oriental nations. Hirai’s criticism was motivated by national consciousness aiming to build an equal relationship between Japan and Western nations. However, Hirai later became one of the early members of the Unitarian Church in Japan, and after that even became engaged in occultism. Why did his attitude change? Th is article provides an account of the transitions in his thought. By focusing on Hirai Kinza’s life, thoughts and activities this study attempts to shed new light also on the broader social, cultural and religious situation of the Meiji Period. It is indeed during this period, which was characterized by rapid modernization and Westernization, that Hirai’s viewpoint underwent signifi cant transformations. |
