ABSTRACT

As soon as the restoration of the monarchy was completed, the Meiji government restored Gion to promote the nationalization of Shintoism with the aim of achieving the unity of the church, and pushed ahead with the separation of gods and the prohibition of Christianity.However, the Christian ban was lifted in 1873 due to opposition from Western imperialists, and the principle of freedom of religion was accepted by modern nations. In addition, the ministry's Shintoism policy, which was defeated by opposition to Buddhism and lack of control over Shintoism, was given way to nationalism policy.Under this assumption, the government was promoted to form national Shintoism and separate Shintoism as a religion as a sect of Shintoism by eliminating religion and merging it with Imperial Shintoism. Such a policy has been clarified in the Constitution of the Empire of Japan, but the Constitution declares the religious system of the Meiji State by inviolating the Emperor's sacredness, while guaranteeing the inclusion of contradictions and religious freedom. From this perspective, we will examine and understand the ideological policies of Meiji State, which set forth the establishment of a national Shinto system through the conversion of religious policies in the state of the Emperor in educational policies.
