I read Shohei Iikura ‘Minakata Kumaguzu –Fukuro no gotoku mokuzashioru-.’
It’s the biography of a natural historian, Kumaguzu Minakata.
Minakata strongly opposed the forced shine integration associated with municipal merger in Meigi Era.
According to the book, the main reason for it is that he wanted to avoid the destruction of the grove of the village shrine.
