Kato Genchi was one of the most prominent Shinto scholars of the 20th century. In 1921, he was appointed as a lecturer at Tokyo Imperial University, where he taught Shinto studies. Later, in 1931, he became a professor at Kokugakuin University, specializing in Shinto and comparative religion. In 1926, he published A Study of Shinto: The Religion of the Japanese Nation, a book aimed at explaining Shinto to an English-speaking audience, including the global community and the English-literate elite in Japan. In the book, Genchi identified Shinto with what he called Mikadoism, or emperor worship. He stated that Shinto had culminated in the worship of the Japanese emperor as a divine being, both during his lifetime and after his death. Genchi also linked Shinto directly to Japanese national identity. He argued that the Japanese people willingly sacrificed everything for their divine emperor, describing this as an expression of their religious consciousness. This volume investigates and presents the salient features of Shinto through a long history of development from its remote past up to the present. It is a historical study of Shinto from a scientific point of view, illustrating the higher aspects of the religion, compiled on strict lines of religious comparison. Table of Contents: Introduction.
