Where it came from
Published in 2000 by Edition Synapse, this collection gathers the essential scholarly works of Carmen Blacker, a preeminent British Japanologist who specialized in Japanese religion, folklore, and the supernatural. Blacker served as a lecturer at Cambridge University for decades, and her research remains fundamental for understanding the intersection of Shinto practices, folk traditions, and shamanic elements within Japanese culture.
The volume was curated to preserve Blacker's diverse academic contributions, including her seminal studies on the psychological and spiritual dimensions of Japanese religious life. The editorial approach reflects her rigorous, empathetic fieldwork, capturing the nuance of practices that were often overlooked in broader historical texts. It is regarded as a vital reference for students of East Asian studies, appreciated for its scholarly depth and the author's clarity in bridging complex cultural phenomena for Western readers.
