Abstract
This chapter focuses on the role of the Silla immigrants at the center of the early Shōtoku cult in shaping the cultic and geopolitical realities of the age. In so doing, the chapter hopes to achieve three goals: to make clear the connections between the early Shōtoku cult and other major contemporaneous developments in Asuka and the hNara religion; to clarify how and why mid-ranking immigrant kinship groups could exert such a tremendous influence on the formation of royal ideology; and to demonstrate that the cultic influence of immigrant kinship groups such as the Miyake and Hata was not limited to the introduction of Buddhism, but rather pervaded a broad range of religious life across the Japanese islands. One of the clearest examples of each of these processes can be found in the development of the cults of the royal ancestors Jingū and Ōjin during this period.
