During the war years, economist Kawakami Hajime, philosopher Miki Kiyoshi, and historian Ienaga Saburo seized on modernized images of Shinran in exile and a transcendent Western Paradise to resist the demands of a state that was bearing down on its citizens with increasing force. Pure Land, Real World treats the religious thought of these three major figures in English for the first time.
