520 | |a The term mizuko kuyo describes a relatively new (mid-19th century) Japanese ritual performed by women who have had abortions or have lost infants in childbirth. The ritual, which takes place in Shinto, Buddhist, new- and new-new-religious settings, involves propitiatory offerings to the bodhisattva Jizo, believed to be the protector both of the pregnancy-childbirth process, and of fetuses and infants themselves. This study classifies the existing literature on mizuko kuyo according to Robert Wuthnow's (1981) consistency-coherence typology. Following a re-examination of English-language primary source literature based on Caroline Walker Bynum's (1986) gendered structural-symbolic methodology, it offers a reinterpretation of the ritual process, which suggests that mizuko kuyo rituals do not signal a more egalitarian relationship between the sexes, but rather serve to reinforce traditional Japanese gender roles. | ||
