About the author

Laura Miller is the author of Occult Hunting and Supernatural Play in Japan, published by University of Hawaii Press. The book examines how, in contemporary Japan, women have been the primary drivers of a broader religious re-enchantment, shaping how shrines, temples, and media industries present themselves to accommodate popular interest in the mysterious and supernatural. Miller uses a deliberately broad definition of occult that takes in ghost stories, fortune-telling, and related supernatural entertainment rather than restricting the term to formal esoteric or magical practice. The book is an academic study of religion, gender, and popular culture rather than a guide to occult practice, aimed at readers interested in contemporary Japanese religion, folklore, and the role women play in shaping popular engagement with the supernatural.
