Description
This book reconstructs the art, architecture, and rituals of a now-lost Buddhist temple, Amidaji in the Japanese city of Shimonoseki. By exploring artistic, literary, religious, political, and ideological contexts, it reveals a carefully crafted program of visual culture for the salvation of the victims of the tragic Genpei War (1180-1185), among whom the child-emperor Antoku.
