When the Japanese Government-General of Korea began carrying out its Rural Promotion Movement in the first half of the 1930s, one of the Movement's key elements was the agriculture-first ideology of "Nohonshugi ". In this paper I focus on one of the more spiritualistic aspects of that ideology, "Piety and Ancestor Worship" (敬神崇祖). From it, the official leadership of Korea's agricultural villages became aware of the need for a tool to strengthen village cohesiveness. I suggest that the officially-sponsored system of village rites, a means of strengthening social control in the villages, grew out of this awareness.Throwing light on such hitherto neglected facts as these will help clarify the Japanese colonial government's shrine policy during these years, and is therefore a significant focus of research.
