御守り was a lovely touch, as was the editorial cover letter. Thank you!

The thematic format of the volume is particularly friendly and analytically engaging, aided by the contributions put forward by the section editors, and the editors’ introduction to the volume. The Resources section is such a gem!

I was invited to write a short chapter on Rural Fieldwork for the Fieldwork section edited by Chika Watanabe who advances a very welcome discussion on fieldwork as practice & brings ‘patchwork ethnography’ to the research context of Japanese religions, highlighting different ways of doing fieldwork.

For anyone travelling from Europe this might not be enough but perhaps it can be combined with other sources of funding (if/when available) or pre-existing conference travel plans.
