Welcome back to school everyone, and welcome to the Japanese Religions and Material Culture blog!
This project was inspired by Adrienne Hurley's amazing use of blogs in her classes at McGill and elsewhere. I will be blogging throughout the semester, and each of the students taking Japanese Religions this year will eventually contribute a guest post on an object of his or her choosing. By spring, we'll have a valuable archive of information for future students. Nice, right?
