| Summary: | The following short essay is part of a larger project on print media representations of new religions during Japan’s immediate postwar period. In addition to the case of Jiu, it considers Tenshō Kōtai Jingū Kyō (“the dancing religion”). The advent of these two groups marked the beginning of Japan’s “rush hour of the gods.” The project makes extensive use of Allied Occupation records and investigates the changes in relationships between new religions, media, and the authorities in the prewar and postwar periods. |
