“Buddhism in Japan or Japanese Buddhism (Nihon Bukkyō) has been practiced in Japan since about the sixth century CE.[3][4][5] Japanese Buddhism has given birth to numerous new Buddhist schools, many of which trace themselves to Chinese Buddhist traditions. Japanese Buddhism has had a major influence on Japanese society and culture and remains an influential aspect to this day.[6]
According to the Japanese Government‘s Agency for Cultural Affairs estimate, as of the end of 2018, with about 84 million or about 67% of the Japanese population, Buddhism was the religion in Japan with the second most adherents, next to Shinto, though a large number of people practice elements of both.[1] There are a wide range of estimates, however; According to the 2013 Britannica International Yearbook, 99% of the Japanese population is Buddhist with remaining population following other religions,[7] Another survey indicates that about 60% of the Japanese have a Butsudan (Buddhist shrine) in their homes.[9] According to a Pew Research study from 2012, Japan has the third largest Buddhist population in the world, after China and Thailand.[10] (WP)
