  2. 1960-1970 • Contemporary Religions in Japan

A semi-annual journal dedicated to the academic study of Japanese religions. The JJRS publishes articles and materials that advance interreligious understanding and further the pursuit of knowledge in the study of religion, particularly Japanese religion. One of its functions is to break through the language barriers that separate Japanese scholarship in religion from the international scene. Usually one of the two semi-annual issues is a special topical collection with guest editors.
