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). -

Almost all are Japanese terms. The dictionary can be used in the ordinary way if the Shintō term you want to look up is already in Japanese (e.g. kami rather than ‘deity’) and has a main entry in the dictionary. If, as is very likely, the concept or word you want is in English such as ‘pollution’, ‘children’, ‘shrine’, etc., or perhaps a place-name like ‘Kyōto’ or ‘Akita’ which does not have a main entry, then consult the comprehensive Thematic Index of English and Japanese terms at the end of the Dictionary first. -

Soto Zen and the Inari Cult: Symbiotic and Exorcistic Trends in Buddhist and Folk Religious Amalgamations
Soto Zen and the Inari Cult: Symbiotic and Exorcistic Trends in Buddhist and Folk Religious Amalgamations Steven Heine Pennsylvania State University We revere the Dharma, whether manifested in a round pillar, a garden lantern, a buddha, a fox, a demon or a deity, a man or a woman. Dogen, ShobIJgenzo '"Raihaitokuzui"l FOLK RELIGIOUS AND BUDDHIST INARI IMAGES This paper investigates the historical and ideological roots of the syncretism between Soto Zen and the cult of Inari, which venerates the god of the rice harvest and fertility often represented by its chief mes senger and avatar, the fox (kitsune). This example of Buddhist-folk re ligious syncretism is most evident in a small network of branch temples of So to which, although affiliated with one of the sect's two main temples at Eiheiji, has its own main temple in Toyokawa city in Aichi prefecture southeast of Nagoya and several subsidiary temples, including one in Tokyo Akasaka. This institution is referred to simultaneously, or at times interchangeably, as Myogonji temple (the Buddhist name) and Tokoyawa Inari, and it enshrines at least three forms of the fox/rice deity which are considered mutually supportive as protector deities for the temple-shrine complex and its followers: the Buddhist deity Dakini shinten depicted as a female bodhisattva astride a flying white fox en shrined in the dharma-hall; the indigenous Inari fertility deity known here as Toyokawa Inari in a shrine hall; and a variety of small fox icons which are guardians of these images. 76 Pacific World, New Series, No. 10, 1994 Although Dakini-shinten is labeled Buddhist, the formation ofits imagery and iconography has little precedent in Indian or Chinese mod els and seems to reflect a prior syncretism with the native god. -

The Secularization of Religion in the City
Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 1986:13/2-3 The Secularization of Religion in the City Ishii Kenji Religion is an area of life extremely hard to rationalize. Since religious institutions are communitarian by nature, rationalization cannot easily be adopted and specialization tends to be delayed. Moreover, conceptual models of society have shifted from the moral order to the technical order (see Wilson 1976). If we use the term secularization to refer to this process whereby the domain of religion as a supernatural order gradually shrinks along with structural differentiation in the social system as a whole, in a society which has attained a high degree of industrialization religion becomes a private affair, driven out from the center of society and answering only to the needs of the individual. If society indeed only consists in mutual actions of anonymous role- players who have become depersonalized by the rationalization process,can religion still have a positive relation to society? This is the theme I would like to deal with in this essay. If, as Thomas Luckmann claims,secularization is the result of a unique historical combination of cultural, religious, and socio-structural conditions (1976,p.ll), then combination patterns different from that of Western society are possible. Yanagawa and Abe have argued that one key for solving the problem of the integration of Japanese society is to be found in ancestor worship. Their point of departure is “the assumption that the integration function that the ‘church’ exercised in Western societies has never been performed either by ‘institutional’ or ‘organizational’ religions in Japan” (1978,p.12).
