From Salvation to Spirituality: Popular Religious Movements in Modern Japan, Susumu Shimazono's 2004 study from Trans Pacific Press, is a scholarly work by a leading Japanese scholar of religious studies with direct access to Japanese language sources many Western scholars cannot use directly. Its strength is that specialist standing and direct source access. Its limit is that, like any survey of a large field, individual movements are treated relatively briefly; specialist claims about one specific movement should be checked against dedicated studies of that movement.
