Like the rest of Japanese society, Buddhist institutions, individuals, and thought were drawn into the dynamics of confronting the modern age.

Buddhism and Modernity: Sources from Nineteenth-Century Japan makes accessible the voices of Japanese Buddhists during the early phase of high modernity. The volume offers original translations of key texts—many available for the first time in English—by central actors in Japan’s transition to the modern era, including the works of Inoue Enryo, Gessho, Hara Tanzan, Shimaji Mokurai, Kiyozawa Manshi, Murakami Sensho, Tanaka Chigaku, and Shaku Soen.
