new religions in Japan  

Definición

  • The new religions of Japan are called shin shūkyō or shinkō shūkyō by most Japanese scholars. Shin shūkyō means “new religion,” and shinkō shūkyō means “newly arisen religion.” The former is usually regarded as a more value-free expression and is preferred in academic circles.
