Tamashiro, John G. "The Evolution of Konkokyo, a Japanese Religion in Hawaii," University of Hawaii, Manoa, December 1985. Advisor: Seymour Lutzsky (16)
This is the first major study of Konkokyo in Hawaii, a religion that, until recently, has been led by people immersed in the Japanese subculture. This dissertation asserts that Japanese religion was a more formative factor in the lives of its adherents than has been previously argued. The primary methods of investigation include observation-participation, interviews with believers, detailed analysis of available English-language material on Konkokyo, and the application of relevant social science theories to the data obtained by these methods.
