"Horii combines in his book a critical reading of written materials with a solid sociological fieldwork conducted among Buddhist priests of the Nichiren sect of Temple Buddhism. ... Horii's work has a number of strengths which makes it an important contribution to the critical study of religion in Japan." (Ernils Larsson, Contemporary Japan, December 10, 2018)
