Abstract
MOTOORI Norinaga considered that events happening in this world are created by puppets, which are controlled by a puppet master. Apparently, this world view is similar to the one adovocated by David Bohm, who regarded time and space as a projection from a totally independent level, the implicate order. In this presentation, I will compare David Bohm's cosmology with that of MOTORORI Norinaga, TACHIBANA Moribe, and HIRATA Atsutane, and consider their views of the universe, life and death.
