ORIENTATION Character and importance o f Furuno's work. Among Japanese sociologists of religion, the work of Furuno Kiyoto (1899-1979) is unique. Morioka (1967, p. 1) once characterized Japanese sociology of religion as distinguished by two features: keen interest in keeping up with and introducing the works of first-rate Western scholars, and the practice of explaining Japanese socioreligious phenomena by referring to the work of scholars in history, folklore, ethnology, and related disciplines. Furuno is a good example of both. Early in his career he translated into Japanese the chief work of Durkheim, then introduced not only the theories of Mauss and other leaders of the neo-Durkheimian school, but also those of Radcliffe-Brown and other members of the English school of social anthropology. He also took an active part in founding and maintaining the Japanese Society of Ethnology and, taking a step rare for his time, carried out field research on religious phenomena both inside and outside Japan. He thus blazed a trail for what later became widely practiced as empirical sociology of religion research. In these ways he stands out as one of the strongest supporters of Japanese sociology of religion at an early stage of its development.
