How did Buddhism, so prominent in Japanese life for over a thousand years, become the target of severe persecution in the social and political turmoil of the early Meiji era? How did it survive attacks against it and reconstitute itself as an increasingly articulate and coherent belief system and a bastion of the Japanese national heritage? Here James Ketelaar elucidates not only the development of Buddhism in the late nineteenth century but also the strategies of the Meiji state.

James Edward Ketelaar is Assistant Professor of History at Stanford University. Of Heretics and Martyrs in Meiji Japan was a finalist for the Hiromi Arisawa Prize Award given by the American Association of University Presses.
