Speakers Avery Morrow
In Kyoto in 1868–1869, kokugaku theorists from around the country were brought together and asked by Meiji Restoration leaders to implement their ideas. These groups had radically different ideas of how Shinto might be implemented, what that would entail for existing religions, and what sort of kami would be worshipped in the new Shinto.
In this project researcher talk, Avery Morrow will discuss his recent archival research on kokugaku discourse during the early years of the Meiji Restoration.
