The post war period is the first time that the Japanese government was forced to separate from religion, not for selfless reasons but according to its own laws and to preserve the existence of the Japanese State. Today we are going to explore how Yasukuni and its branches navigated the post war separation of State and Religion. We are going to look at some of the Legal cases that set precedent and how the vast majority of the government has tried to ignore those rulings.

Today we explore the origin and early history of the Yasukuni Shrine.
What is Yasukuni? Simply put it is a shrine dedicated to peace and the soldiers of Japan. It’s name translates to Peaceful Land Shrine (Yasukuni Jinja) and despite the name it is the most controversial Shinto Shrine there is. This is because is has continuously been at the center of post war / post Japanese colonization politics. How did it come about? Was it always the center of Japanese militant nationalism? Lets find out!

During the Nara Period, 6 distinct schools of Buddhism developed in the City of Nara. These would represent the major houses of Philosophical thought at the time and illustrate the importance of Buddhism in the intellectual development of Japanese Culture.
The Schools of Nara Buddhism:
Ritsu 律宗: strictly observance of the prātimokṣa and Monastic ordination
JoJitsu 成実宗: Transient phenomenon is not "real"
Kusha 倶舎宗: Dharma Analysis Treasury school, trying to understand Phenomenology and the self.
Sanron 三論宗: Experience without conceptualization, focused on three treatises that explained emptiness, mystical knowledge, and realities of physical things.
Hosso 法相宗: 8 kinds of consciousness, intense drills on use of the mind
Kengon 華厳宗, 花嚴宗: These sutras theorized the unobstructed interpenetration of all phenomena, or that all ideas and things can be penetrated and collected into one mind

Today we continue our journey through the story of the Japanese islands
There are several specific topics that I would like to take a deeper dive into but I want to make sure that we have some basic ground covered before we get too deep into it.
Throughout these 13 episodes, We will cover the entire span of Japanese history, from the early hunter-gatherers of the Jomon to the Newest Era, Reiwa. This will introduce the general outline of Japanese history for those who are not familiar and will begin to contextualize famous events and people

I talk with you lovely people today about the important relationship between Archaeological research and Economic Principals. I also mention bells in the beginning.
Today we discuss Who Pays for Archaeology? I also ask the question: Who was the first Professional Archaeologist?
Prince Shotoku (574 - 622) The man who coined the term "Japan", the man who wrote the first constitution in the Japanese islands, the father of Japanese Buddhism is considered on all accounts to be a saint. But I have this gut feeling he's a war criminal and today we will explore this idea.
Today, I push Halloween into November and discuss the Holiday, ReCall my Holiday Experience at The Hill of Tara. That is then compared to the holidays and rituals of comparable celebrations in Japan.
This podcast was recorded in the car at a lovely park.
