English summary: In this volume, Michael Pye uses a chronological approach to present the multifaceted religious landscape of the Japanese archipelago. He traces a narrative trajectory from the available archaeological evidence of the earliest beginnings to today=s dazzlingly pluralistic culture. Special attention is given to the internal branching and interpenetration of religious traditions of various origins, such as Shinto and Buddhism. Featuring up-to-date scholarly findings while remaining easily accessible to a broader readership, the book presents the exciting, wide-ranging and interweaving network of Japanese religious history and its interrelationships with culture and politics, from the reception of foreigners, through processes of transformation and genuinely Japanese developments, to its presence in other countries. German description: Die Vielgestaltigkeit der religiosen Landschaft der japanischen Inselwelt prasentiert Michael Pye in diesem Band in chronologischem Zugriff: Er spannt einen erzahlenden Bogen von den archaologisch greifbaren Anfangen bis zur schillernd-pluralistischen Gegenwartskultur. Dabei gilt ein besonderes Augenmerk der internen Verzweigung und gegenseitigen Durchdringung religioser Traditionen verschiedenen Ursprungs, wie von Shinto und Buddhismus. Wissenschaftlich up-to-date und gleichzeitig fur eine breite Leserschaft leicht zuganglich prasentiert der Autor das spannende und weit verzweigte Netz der japanischen Religionsgeschichte mit ihren Wechselbeziehungen zu Kultur und Politik, zwischen Rezeption von Fremden uber Transformation zu genuin japanischen Ausformungen bis hin zu ihrer Prasenz in Ubersee.
