Abstract.<\/em><\/strong> The article looks at the development of Protestantism in Japan from the end of the country\u2019s self-isolation to the present day. Initially, Protestantism was more actively spread among representatives of the samurai class and the better educated strata of the population. In the pre-war period, Shintoism became part of the state ideology, and Christianity was perceived as a foreign religion. After Japan\u2019s defeat in the war, freedom of religion was restored. Christians made up about 1 % of Japan\u2019s population, but new religions based on Buddhism became much more widespread. The article focuses on the interaction of Christianity with Japanese religious traditions: Buddhism and Shintoism. It is concluded that the main cause of the limited adoption of Christianity was the population\u2019s rootedness in Buddhist culture.<\/p>\n
