What reading level is The Development of Religion in Japan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
92 Religion in Japan temples with their images, and they became the gods of the common people: Kwannon, 1 the Groddess of Mercy, whose benignant statue is found in countless temples, and whose delineation became the favourite task of artists ; Binzuru, 2 God of Medicine, whose virtue is transferred by the hand of mothers from his wooden eyes and ears to the eyes and ears of their offspring ; Ema, God of the Dead, and many others. Before these images the simple-hearted peasants stand, make their... offerings of a tiny fraction of a cent, clap their hands, repeat a prayer in an unknown tongue, and depart, confident that some blessing for the life which now is has been gained, for the religion of the great Indian protestant against salvation by faith has turned back to the worship which he rejected. This worship is in- distinguishable from Shinto, for in tera as in mya is shown the same reverence for the wonderful, the same reliance upon powers superior and invisible, and the same longing for protection against the evils of the present world, and the same desire for its goods.
