CULTURES OF WAR (THE SECTION EDITED BY PHILIPPE BUC) PHILIPPE BUC WIEN BY WAY OF AN INTRODUCTION This dossier of articles off ers refl ections on religion, culture, and war in four premodern human ensembles, the medieval European West, Japan between ca. 1000 and ca. 1600, the city- -empire of Tenochtitlan before the Spanish Conquest of Mexico, and medieval Islam. There are well-known diffi culties in defi ning these three concepts. “Religion” has been criticized as a projection of the odd specifi cities of Late Modern Christianity onto far diff erent dimensions of human existence outside Europe1. “Culture” has hundreds of defi nitions, and labors under the suspicion, among others, of being reductionist in assuming systemic coherence and shared dispositions in a given human ensemble. As for “war”, how many human beings must be involved to have a “war”? Is civil war within a social ensemble the same as war between social groups that understand one another as alien? Where are the boundaries between feud and war? To address these concerns would take page after page of academic scholasticism, and stop from its very beginning the comparative enterprise. Admitt edly, the soliciting of these articles did not come with a set of questions to be answered by each author. My own contribution will try to build a few comparative bridges, around the theme of religion and war. Isabel Bueno Bravo’s article concentrates on the technical aspects of Tenochca warfare, and its social embeddedness, very much in the respectable 1 One example of the impact of “religion” conceived of in terms of dogma and canon onto an up until then unstructured constellation, H. Oberoi, The Construction of Religious Boundaries: Culture, Identity, and Diversity in the Sikh Tradition, Chicago 1994; one rejoinder, J.Ā. Josephson, The Invention of Religion in Japan, Chicago 2012. 6 PHILIPPE BUC tradition represented in the United States by Ross Hassig2. Pragmatism takes here pride of place, as against cultural or religious determinants. Left aside is the other tradition, which views Tenochtitlan’s wars as motivated by the desire to capture victims to sacrifi ce them to the gods and maintain the cosmos. Indeed, Hassig has criticized the idea that the Nahua tribes waged “religious wars”, since their warfare by no means aimed at spreading a belief (an objection which is semantic, given that there are other ways for wars to be related to religion). Hassig has also underlined how the Aztecs manipulated their myths and their sacred calendar for power-political purposes, a more interesting objection against “war for the gods”, to which we shall return in the last paragraph of this introduction3. For him as in Bueno Bravo’s approach, culture is about social hierarchy and stratifi cation. One might measure the warlords of Tom Conlan’s medieval Japan with a similar stick. Parties to the destructive Ōnin War (1467-1477) are seen using gods to curse their opponents, moving them as virtual markers of authority to strategic places in the real and symbolic space. These maneuvers led to the formation of new sacred geography and a translation of sacrality westward around the Ōuchi’s tutelary shrine in Yamaguchi. This city around a key temple was made immune to impurities, and became the center of a mandala. For decades, until the mid-16th century, this space rivaled and even overshadowed the capital, Kyoto. In focusing on religious capital as a serious object for struggle and competition, Conlan pursues a line he incepted in his From Sovereign to Symbol4, faintly foreshadowed in a lone chapter of his State of War5. Mikael Adolphson, focusing on Japan’s late classical period, would seem at one level to de-emphasize the religious dimension so present, while with instrumental character, in Conlan’s contribution. Otherwise put, he separates violence issuing from the great monastic institutions from these institutions’ religiosity, and he furthers his earlier works’ spirited att ack on the concept of “warrior monks”6. Contrary to what the concept assumes, there existed no hybrid

    Jichihan and the Restoration and Innovation of Buddhist Practice

    Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 1999 26/1-2 Jichihan and the Restoration and Innovation of Buddhist Practice Marc Buijnsters The various developments in doctrinal thought and practice during the Insei and Kamakura periods remain one of the most intensively researched fields in the study of Japanese Buddhism. Two of these developments con­ cern the attempts to restore the observance of traditional Buddhist ethics, and the problem of how Pure La n d tenets could be inserted into the esoteric teaching. A pivotal role in both developments has been attributed to the late-Heian monk Jichihan, who was lauded by the renowned Kegon scholar- monk Gydnen as “the restorer of the traditional precepts ” and patriarch of Japanese Pure La n d Buddhism.，’ At first glance, available sources such as Jichihan’s biograpmes hardly seem to justify these praises. Several newly discovered texts and a more extensive use of various historical sources, however, should make it possible to provide us with a much more accurate and complete picture of Jichihan’s contribution to the restoration and innovation of Buddhist practice. Keywords: Jichihan — esoteric Pure Land thousfht — Buddhist reform — Buddhist precepts As was n o t unusual in the late Heian period, the retired Regent- Chancellor Fujiwara no Tadazane 藤 原 忠 実 （1078-1162) renounced the world at the age of sixty-three and received his first Buddnist ordi­ nation, thus entering religious life. At tms ceremony the priest Jichi­ han officiated as Teacher of the Precepts (kaishi 戒自帀；Kofukuji ryaku 興福寺略年代記，Hoen 6/10/2). Fujiwara no Yorinaga 藤原頼長 (1120-11^)0), Tadazane^ son who was to be remembered as “Ih e Wicked Minister of the Left” for his role in the Hogen Insurrection (115bハ occasionally mentions in his diary that he had the same Jichi­ han perform esoteric rituals in order to recover from a chronic ill­ ness, achieve longevity，and extinguish his sins (Taiki 台gd Koji 1/8/6， 2/2/22; Ten，y6 1/6/10).

Obiettivi fondamentali sono quelli di prevenire il deterioramento di aree non inquinate e di risanare quelle dove attualmente sono riscontrabili livelli di rumorosità ambientale superiori ai valori limite. La zonizzazione è inoltre un indispensabile strumento di previsione per una corretta pianificazione, ai fini della tutela dall’inquinamento acustico, delle nuove aree di sviluppo urbanistico o per la verifica di compatibilità dei nuovi insediamenti o infrastrutture in aree già urbanizzate. La definizione delle zone permette di derivare per ogni punto posto nell’ambiente esterno i valori limite per il rumore da rispettare e di conseguenza risultano così determinati, già in fase di progettazione, i valori limite che ogni nuovo impianto, infrastruttura, sorgente sonora non temporanea deve rispettare.

McMullen Editor’s Introduction Esoteric Buddhist Traditions in Medieval Japan he term “esoteric Buddhism” (mikkyō 密教) tends to invoke images often considered obscene to a modern audience. Such popular impres- sions may include artworks insinuating copulation between wrathful Tdeities that portend to convey a profound and hidden meaning, or mysterious rites involving sexual symbolism and the summoning of otherworldly powers to execute acts of violence on behalf of a patron. Similar to tantric Buddhism elsewhere in Asia, many of the popular representations of such imagery can be dismissed as modern interpretations and constructs (White 2000, 4–5; Wede- meyer 2013, 18–36).

    The Origins of Japanese Culture Uncovered Using DNA ―What happens when we cut into the world of the Kojiki myths using the latest science Miura Sukeyuki – Professor, Rissho University & Shinoda Kenichi – Director, Department of Anthropology, Japanese National Museum of Nature and Science MIURA Sukeyuki: The Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters) has one distinguishing feature in the fact it includes a mixture of both Southern and Northern style myths. This is proof that Japanese culture was originally not only one culture, but rather came into existence while being influenced by its various surroundings; but when it comes to trying to seek out the origins of that culture, as we would expect, there are limits to how far we can get using only an arts and humanities-based approach. That’s where your (Professor Shinoda’s) area of expertise— molecular anthropology—comes in and corroborates things scientifically for us. Miura Sukeyuki , Professor, Rissho By analyzing the DNA remaining in ancient human skeletal remains, University your research closing in on the origins of the Japanese people is beginning to unravel when the Jomon and Yayoi peoples and so on came to the Japanese archipelago, where they came from, and the course of their movements, isn’t it? In recent times we’ve come to look forward to the possibility that, by watching the latest developments in scientific research, we may be able to newly uncover the origins of Japanese culture.

    Definition[Edit]

    Romanesque architecture is an architectural style of medieval Europe characterized by semi-circular arches. There is no consensus for the beginning date of the Romanesque architecture, with proposals ranging from the 6th to the 10th century. It developed in the 12th century into the Gothic style, marked by pointed arches. Examples of Romanesque architecture can be found across the continent, making it the first pan-European architectural style since Imperial Roman Architecture. The Romanesque style in England is traditionally referred to as Norman architecture. Combining features of ancient Roman and Byzantine buildings and other local traditions, Romanesque architecture is known by its massive quality, thick walls, round arches, sturdy piers, groin vaults, large towers and decorative arcading. Each building has clearly defined forms, frequently of very regular, symmetrical plan; the overall appearance is one of simplicity when compared with the Gothic buildings that were to follow. The style can be identified right across Europe, despite regional characteristics and different materials. Many castles were built during this period, but they are greatly outnumbered by churches. The most significant are the great abbeychurches, many of which are still standing, more or less complete and frequently in use.[1] The enormous quantity of churches built in the Romanesque period was succeeded by the still busier period of Gothic architecture, which partly or entirely rebuilt most Romanesque churches in prosperous areas like England and Portugal. The largest groups of Romanesque survivors are in areas that were less prosperous in subsequent periods, including parts of southern France, northern Spain and rural Italy. Survivals of unfortified Romanesque secular houses and palaces, and the domestic quarters of monasteries are far rarer, but these used and adapted the features found in church buildings, on a domestic scale.
