Phunthasane Phra Paron(JayānandoBhikkhu)  (Postgraduate student (PhD) Banzarov Buryat State University (BSU), Ulan-Ude, Russia )

This paper examines the role of supreme royal decrees in Japan, including imperial edicts, shogunate orders, and other legal acts, in the formation of Buddhist institutions. These decrees played a crucial role in shaping the relationship between religion and state power, defining the position of Buddhism within Japan’s political and social structures. The study focuses on changes in the religious policy of Japan as reflected in these decrees and their impact on the evolution of Buddhist institutions over different historical periods. Special attention is given to key concepts such as Shinto, kokutai, Ritsuryō, Soniryō, and others, which facilitated the integration of Buddhism into the state system. The paper also analyzes changes in legal acts that regulated Buddhism in Japan. This research offers a comprehensive analysis of the sources, aimed at gaining a deeper understanding of the role of royal decrees as instruments of state control and religious policy formation in Japan.

Keywords:supreme royal decrees, Buddhism, Japan, imperial edicts, shogunates, religious policy, Shinto, kokutai, Ritsuryō, Soniryō, source studies, religious studies, Buddhist studies.
