Abstract

This article introduces Ijun, a religion that was founded in Okinawa in 1972. Based on traditional Ryukyuan cosmology and creation myth, Ijun can be classified as a new religion because of the recent origins of its formal organization and its syncretism of Buddhism, Shinto and Christianity.
