This study discusses the way local religious traditions were radically transformed by the "dissociation of kami and buddhas/bodhisattvas" (shinbutsu bunri) at the beginning of the Meiji period (1868-1912). It has often been assumed that the Japanese religious world consisted of clearly demarcated realms: Buddhist sects on one hand, and local "Shint o" cults on the other, and that these "traditions" are still clearly visible in Japanese society, and can be studied separately. Recent Japanese and a few Western studies, however, have shown a radically different picture that is antithetical to received categories. These studies have shown how Buddhist and non-Buddhist cults deeply interacted in history and how the 1868 government policies separated and sometimes destroyed these cults, and in the process, created an entirely new set of institutions, practices, and doctrinal or philosophical propositions. Indeed, it can be said that 1868 represents perhaps the greatest break in the history of Japanese religiosity. The present study aims to support this notion through a concrete and detailed analysis of the history of some of Japan's central religious institutions, and intends to ask further questions concerning the nature and scope of these transformations. The first chapter traces the embedding process of Buddhist institutions in the local religious milieu in Shinano province, and reveals that Buddhist funerary rituals played an essential role in this process. The second chapter analyzes the process of the spread of Hirata nativism in the Ina valley during the late Edo period (1600-1868). This will clarify how anti-Buddhist ideology was adopted by entrepreneurial peasants, who became local agents and supporters of shinbutsu bunri. The third chapter describes in detail the agents, motives, and processes of the local shinbutsu bunri as enacted in Shinano province. An analysis of cases in Ono village, at Suwa Shrine, and in the Matsumoto domain reveals the essentially political nature of the government's "religious policies," including the changing of funerary rituals. However, the consequences of shinbutsu bunri were more than political. This study demonstrates how local Buddhist traditions in the regional religious systems were fundamentally transformed by the "dissociation" imposed by the government.
