Examines past & present religious & political fundamentalism in Japan & assesses its societal impact. Central to the analysis are the institutional (expressed in religious & political structures) & diffuse (general public awareness spread by mass media) aspects of these fundamentalisms. Japanese prewar political fundamentalism is described as expressing both these aspects as a civil religion founded & enforced by the government & spread through official religions, parareligious groups, & the media. The actions & ideologies of contemporary Japanese political fundamentalist groups, expressed in terrorist acts, legal challenges, textbook revision efforts, & nationalist sentiments, are analyzed. The growth & ideologies of Japan's pre-& post-WWII "new religions," which present alternatives to Shintoism & Buddhism, are discussed, arguing that these movements are more opportunistic than fundamentalist. While political fundamentalism has for the moment been limited to select, underground groups, the conditions for its success could arise again. Bibliog. T. Arnold
