Reviews

""Dahl offers readers a much-needed study of Shugendō and its practice in the Dewa Sanzan mountains of Japan. His beautiful, evocative descriptions of the landscape and insightful analysis of Shugendō's ascetic practices are commendable.""--Mark Rowe, McMaster University ""Shayne Dahl's study employs a strong ethnographic methodology and balances theoretical sophistication with narrative flow, making it a highly readable and valuable engagement with contemporary Shugendō and Japanese religions. The book makes meaningful contributions to the fields of anthropology and religion and will spark conversations in undergraduate and graduate classrooms.""--Caleb Carter, Kyushu University
