Abortion is common and accepted in Japan, and as a consequence, one of the frequently performed rituals in Japanese Buddhism is mizuko kuyo, a ceremony for aborted and miscarried fetuses. Over the past forty years, mizuko kuyo has gradually come to America, where it has been appropriated by non~Buddhists as well as Buddhist practitioners. In this book, Jeff Wilson examines how and why Americans of different backgrounds have brought knowledge and performance of this Japanese ceremony to the United States. Drawing on his own extensive fieldwork in Japan and the United States, as well as the literature in both Japanese and English, Wilson shows that the meaning and purpose of the ritual have changed greatly in the American context. In Japan, mizuko kuyo is performed to placate the potentially dangerous spirit of the angry fetus. In America, however, it has come to be seen as a way for the mother to mourn and experience solace for her loss. Many American women who learn about mizuko kuyo are struck by the lack of such a ceremony in their own culture and see it as satisfying a crucial need. Ceremonies are now performed even for losses that took place many years ago. At the same time, culture warriors on both sides of the abortion divide have appropriated mizuko kuyo as ammunition in their ongoing battles. Wilson's study not only contributes to the growing literature on American Buddhism, but sheds light on a range of significant issues in Buddhist studies, interreligious contact, womens studies, and even bioethics. This book provides indispensable insight into a unique and little~known, but growing, movement in American culture. …
