From the 1920s to the early 1930s the Shintoist new religion Oomoto expanded explosively under its call to action “<italic>Tatekae, tatenaoshi</italic>” (Demolition and Reconstruction). Its reformist agenda encompassed not only spiritual and moral renovation, but also governance, education, the economy, the arts, and other aspects of society. This dissertation provides a case study of Oomoto's growth that examines the context and role of popular religion in Japanese society during the pre-war period. It demonstrates that Oomoto successfully blended elements of traditional culture with modern technologies to construct a subaltern vision of modern Japanese identity that was at odds with state ideology and orthodoxy. It argues that new religions such as Oomoto arose despite increasing state control in order to fulfill the demand for popular practices and behaviors not offered by the institutionalized, official sects in the religious marketplace.

520 $a From the 1920s to the early 1930s the Shintoist new religion Oomoto expanded explosively under its call to action “<italic>Tatekae, tatenaoshi</italic>” (Demolition and Reconstruction). Its reformist agenda encompassed not only spiritual and moral renovation, but also governance, education, the economy, the arts, and other aspects of society. This dissertation provides a case study of Oomoto's growth that examines the context and role of popular religion in Japanese society during the pre-war period. It demonstrates that Oomoto successfully blended elements of traditional culture with modern technologies to construct a subaltern vision of modern Japanese identity that was at odds with state ideology and orthodoxy. It argues that new religions such as Oomoto arose despite increasing state control in order to fulfill the demand for popular practices and behaviors not offered by the institutionalized, official sects in the religious marketplace.
520 $a The account begins with a biographical account of Deguchi Onisaburô, the charismatic and entrepreneurial co-founder of the sect who spearheaded Oomoto's national expansion. This is followed by two chapters discussing how Oomoto incorporated elements of “traditional” Japanese culture in its activities. Chapter Two argues that Oomoto was firmly grounded in the nineteenth century Nativist and “Ancient Shinto” movements. Chapter Three discusses the central role of spiritualist practices and traditional healing methods in Oomoto's first national expansion. The next two chapters examine how Oomoto adopted “modern” ideas and technologies to expand their audience. Chapter Four describes its ecumenical and internationalist activities, such as Esperanto. Chapter Five shows how the sect employed exhibitions and movies for self-promotion. Chapter Six concludes with an account of Oomoto patriotic activities in the 1930s and its subsequent suppression by the state.
520 $a Oomoto's multiple, hybrid levels of secular and spiritual, nationalist and internationalist activity attracted a wide cross section of the disaffected in pre-war Japan, facilitating its transformation from a small, local sect to a complex, cosmopolitan organization of international stature perceived as a threat by the state. Oomoto rejected the Westernized, materialist and militarist version of Japanese identity embraced by mainstream society in favor of a romantic and aesthetic national identity that emphasized humanitarianism, art, and traditional spirituality.
