Rearranging the landscape of the gods: A history of Kompira pilgrimage in the Meiji period (Japan). - 464 p.

Adviser: Carol Gluck.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Columbia University, 1999.

During the Meiji period, people throughout Japan created a modernity tied closely to the gods. As in earlier times, worshipers visited renowned sites of miraculous power, seeking the assistance of the gods in their everyday lives. In the changing historical context of the modern nation-state, however, worshipers—and the priests, entrepreneurs, civic leaders, and others whose livelihoods depended upon their pilgrimage—approached these sites in new ways, harnessing the performative power of the sacred in the service of new ideological, economic, and personal ends.

520 $a During the Meiji period, people throughout Japan created a modernity tied closely to the gods. As in earlier times, worshipers visited renowned sites of miraculous power, seeking the assistance of the gods in their everyday lives. In the changing historical context of the modern nation-state, however, worshipers—and the priests, entrepreneurs, civic leaders, and others whose livelihoods depended upon their pilgrimage—approached these sites in new ways, harnessing the performative power of the sacred in the service of new ideological, economic, and personal ends.
520 $a Few religious centers were as compelling as the shrine of Kompira in Shikoku, one of the most popular pilgrimage destinations in Tokugawa Japan. In the mid-nineteenth century, the wonder-working powers of Buddhist-controlled Kompira attracted hundreds of thousands of pilgrims from all over the country. But it was in the Meiji period, through the localized actions of a variety of people, especially the members of an emerging middle class, that the shrine of Kompira and its pilgrimage became truly national.
520 $a Whether converting to Shinto and seeking affiliation with the central government, or developing a new lay association to increase the income and influence of the shrine, the priests of Kompira worked to maintain and improve their position under the new Meiji regime. Worshipers participated in and created new rituals in order to gain closer access to the god. During wartime, the prayers of petitioners combined with the imperial ritual of the priests to turn Kompira into a guardian of the imperial military. Yet as entrepreneurs catered to the fledgling middle class and new railroads and rituals separated the growing ranks of the well-to-do from poorer pilgrims, the shrine became not just a site of shared miraculous belief and national prayer, but an arena for delineating the many distinctions of modern society. On the grounds of Kompira, as throughout Japan, a variety of people, for their own reasons, constructed a new social, intellectual and physical landscape for modern Japan.
