About the Author

Kyoko Motomuchi Nakamura

Reviews

'A major contribution made by Kyoko Motomochi Nakamura Nakamura's book is much more than merely a lavishly annotated translation. Nakamura demonstrates her familiarity with both Western and Japanese scholarship beyond the scope of her immediate subject matter. A refreshing down-to-earth approach which does not confuse religion with philosophy or pure metaphysics. An excellent scholarly work which deserves the attention of scholars from various fields. Despite the high price of the reprint, I would not hesitate to recommend its purchase. It is worth every single dollar, yen, pound or whatever currency it takes.' - Christoph Kleine, Japanese Religions
