  • Representations of Pleasure and Worship in Sankei Mandara Talia J
    Mapping Sacred Spaces: Representations of Pleasure and Worship in Sankei mandara Talia J. Andrei Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2016 © 2016 Talia J.Andrei All rights reserved Abstract Mapping Sacred Spaces: Representations of Pleasure and Worship in Sankei Mandara Talia J. Andrei This dissertation examines the historical and artistic circumstances behind the emergence in late medieval Japan of a short-lived genre of painting referred to as sankei mandara (pilgrimage mandalas). The paintings are large-scale topographical depictions of sacred sites and served as promotional material for temples and shrines in need of financial support to encourage pilgrimage, offering travelers worldly and spiritual benefits while inspiring them to donate liberally. Itinerant monks and nuns used the mandara in recitation performances (etoki) to lead audiences on virtual pilgrimages, decoding the pictorial clues and touting the benefits of the site shown. Addressing themselves to the newly risen commoner class following the collapse of the aristocratic order, sankei mandara depict commoners in the role of patron and pilgrim, the first instance of them being portrayed this way, alongside warriors and aristocrats as they make their way to the sites, enjoying the local delights, and worship on the sacred grounds. Together with the novel subject material, a new artistic language was created— schematic, colorful and bold. We begin by locating sankei mandara’s artistic roots and influences and then proceed to investigate the individual mandara devoted to three sacred sites: Mt. Fuji, Kiyomizudera and Ise Shrine (a sacred mountain, temple and shrine, respectively).

  • The Yamanashi Grapevine
    The Yamanashi Grapevine July 2003 Editor’s note Before summer’s heat saps all our energy, we went to visit two cities in Yamanashi. The first, Fujiyoshida, is probably the most famous place in Yamanashi as it is the point from where most Mount Fuji climbers start their long journey to the top. The second, Nirasaki, may not be as well renowned, but it might be known to some football (or should I say “soccer”?!) fans as the home of the high school where current Parma player Hidetoshi Nakata’s talent was discovered. On page 8, Geoff Wigan, an Assistant Language Teacher on the Table of Contents JET programme, takes us on a philosophical journey through his first year in p.2 Nirasaki City Yamanashi. p.4 Fujiyoshida City This edition holds a special meaning to me as it marks my last contribution to the P.6 News Spotlight Grapevine.

I also want to thank my Japanese instructors Hayasaka sensei, Takahashi sensei, and Cavanaugh sensei, whose exceptional language classes gave me the courage and competence to conduct fieldwork in Japanese. My thanks go to Professor Milutin for patiently sifting through emaki and ancient Japanese poems with me and to Professor Ortegren for sharing her experiences on ethnographic fieldwork. I would also like to thank my first-year advisor Professor Sheridan, and all the other faculty and staff from the Middlebury Department of Religion and Department of History of Art and Architecture for their valuable feedback and support. I extend my special thanks to the following people, who not only graciously accepted my interviews but showed me the incredible hospitality, kindness and patience of the Japanese people: Orihashi san and her fellow colleagues at Nawawaseya, Shiga san and his family, Nagata san of Izumo Oyashiro, Nasu san and his colleagues at Oshimenawa Sousakukan, Matsumoto San, Yamagawa san and his father at Kyoto, Koimizu san, Takashi san, Kubishiro and his workshop, and Oda san. My appreciation goes to all the other people who have helped me one way or another during my stay in Japan, from providing me food and shelter to helping me find my lost camera.

    REVIEW OF REVIEWS Nihon minzokugaku (Japanese Folklore Science), V ol.V, No. 2 (August 1958) Kojima Yukiyoshi: On the Belief in Kompira. Kompira is a guardian-god of fishermen and sailors. The name Kompira is a foreign import, the belief in the god is how­ ever part of the oldest religion of the people, from Izu Oshima in the East on down to the Goto Islands of Nagasaki Prefecture in the West. Folk tradition has it that the god stays at home and takes care of the houses and villages when all other gods start on a journey in October. During this time a festival is celebrated in his honor at which he is frequently worshipped as god of agriculture. Whether the god’s function as caretaker is part of his original nature or a later acquisition we can only guess. Ushio Michio: The Form of Oracles in Kagura，Sacred Shinto Music. In the kagura in honor of the kitchen-god Kojin in Okayama Prefecture people ask for an oracle for every seven or every thirteen years. In order to obtain the divine message they pile up brushwood around the sanctuary (shinden) of the god and set it afire. Ritual straw-ropes are hung along the boundary of the shrine precincts. Then two shrine ministers, swinging pine torches, start a wild dance, shouting goya, goya and beating one another with stones. One of them is supposed to be Kojin, the other one a man. Kojin tries to put the man to flight and a frantic scene develops under the eyes of the onlooking crowd through which the man dashes and gives up.

These facilities exist at different lo- cations such as in the river flow or near the river bank. Their sizes vary from a tall and strong embankment which is easily found to a small water barricade such as Gyuwaku hidden in a ordinary field. All of them are important flood control facilities which protect people who live near the river during flood disasters. This small booklet was published to announce our ancestors' precious idea and efforts for Fuji river flood control. Among various flood control facilities along Fuji river, three locations of “Shingen Embankment”, “Manriki Forest”, and “Karigane Embankment” are introduced in this booklet to help you under- stand Fuji river. “Shingen Embankment” is located in the west side of the Kofu basin. It is told that Shingen Takeda, a famous war lord in war- ring state, constructed it, and it is called by that name honoring his achievement. “Manriki Forest” is located in the east of the Kofu basin to pre- vent a flood of Fuefuki river. This is a flood prevention forest where covered by dense and large pine trees. It is told that the origin of the name, “Manriki”, has the wish of making a strong bank with all people's united power.
