Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to present some of the various religious practices in the everyday life of Japanese people. Being myself primarily concerned with the peculiar issue of diffused spirituality and its relation to everyday practices, with particular attention to life-shaping or violence aspects, I am especially interested to show how these practices would theoretically relate to the sociological dimension of Japanese religions as well as to the pragmatic claims of their practitioners.
