内容説明・目次

内容説明

Transmitted from China to Japan in the 13th century, Zen Buddhism not only introduced religious practices but also literature, calligraphy, philosophy, and ink painting to Japanese disciples. This elegant book discusses these fields as they combined to encompass the evocative practice of figure painting within Zen Buddhism in medieval Japan. Focusing on approximately fifty exceptional Japanese and Chinese paintings and sculptures from the 12th to the early 17th centuries which together illustrate the story of the 'awakening' of Zen art, this book features essays by distinguished scholars discussing the rituals and functions of figural paintings within Zen monastic and lay communities. The authors explore the ideology underlying the development of Zen's own pantheon of characters created to imagine the Buddha's wisdom and offer fresh insights into the role of the visual arts within Zen practice as it developed in Japan in close dialogue with the Asian continent.
