Son intérêt, son soutien et ses conseils m’ont été précieux. Au terme de ce parcours, mes remerciements vont aussi à ma famille et mes amis qui, avec cette question récurrente, « quand est-ce que tu la soutiens cette thèse ? », bien qu’angoissante en période fréquente de doutes, m’ont permis de ne jamais dévier de l’objectif que je m’étais fixé. Leurs attentions, leurs encouragements ainsi que leur confiance indéfectible dans mes choix m’ont accompagné tout au long de ces années. Je remercie tout particulièrement ma compagne, Ami, pour sa patience, ses encouragements et sa confiance qui m’ont été des soutiens essentiels. Je souhaite aussi remercier Monsieur Murata Michihito, de l’Université d’Ōsaka, qui a bien voulu m’accueillir et me guider pendant mon séjour de 2012 à 2014. Je remercie l’école de thé Ogasawararyū senchadō à Ashiya, et mon maître Ogasawara Shūhō, qui m’ont fait découvrir la cérémonie du thé pour laquelle ma fascination et mon intérêt ne font que croître. Enfin, ce travail n’aurait pas été possible sans la bourse du gouvernement japonais qui m’a permis de séjourner près des sources documentaires dont j’avais besoin, de solliciter les spécialistes, que je remercie également pour leur chaleureux accueil. 5 6 Avertissement Nous utiliserons le système de transcription Hepburn modifié pour l’écriture du japonais.

  • 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).

  • Discourses on Religious Violence in Premodern Japan
    The Numata Conference on Buddhist Studies: Violence, Nonviolence, and Japanese Religions: Past, Present, and Future. University of Hawaii, March 2014. Discourses on Religious Violence in Premodern Japan Mickey Adolphson University of Alberta 2014 What is religious violence and why is it relevant to us? This may seem like an odd question, for 20–21, surely we can easily identify it, especially considering the events of 9/11 and other instances of violence in the name of religion over the past decade or so? Of course, it is relevant not just permission March because of acts done in the name of religion but also because many observers find violence noa, involving religious followers or justified by religious ideologies especially disturbing. But such a ā author's M notion is based on an overall assumption that religions are, or should be, inherently peaceful and at the harmonious, and on the modern Western ideal of a separation of religion and politics. As one Future scholar opined, religious ideologies are particularly dangerous since they are “a powerful and Hawai‘i without resource to mobilize individuals and groups to do violence (whether physical or ideological of violence) against modern states and political ideologies.”1 But are such assumptions tenable?

In order to understand the concept of “religious do Past, University violence,” we must ask ourselves what it is that sets it apart from other violence.

Webb Accepted by: Dean ofthe Graduate School III © 2009 Brendan Arkell Morley IV An Abstract ofthe Thesis of Brendan A. Morley for the degree of Master ofArts in the Interdisciplinary Studies Program: Asian Studies to be taken June 2009 Title: THE GODDESSES' SHRINE FAMILY: THE MUNAKATA THROUGH THE KAMAKURA ERA This thesis presents an historical study ofthe Kyushu shrine family known as the Munakata, beginning in the fourth century and ending with the onset ofJapan's medieval age in the fourteenth century. The tutelary deities ofthe Munakata Shrine are held to be the progeny ofthe Sun Goddess, the most powerful deity in the Shinto pantheon; this fact speaks to the long-standing historical relationship the Munakata enjoyed with Japan's ruling elites. Traditional tropes ofJapanese history have generally cast Kyushu as the periphery ofJapanese civilization, but in light ofrecent scholarship, this view has become untenable. Drawing upon extensive primary source material, this thesis will provide a detailed narrative ofMunakata family history while also building upon current trends in Japanese historiography that locate Kyushu within a broader East Asian cultural matrix and reveal it to be a central locus of cultural production on the Japanese archipelago.

Syntax and semantics of noun modification Part 3 5. Outer relation 5.1 A general problem Continuing from the last chapter, where we considered “inner relation” noun modification constructions, in this chapter we will consider “outer relation” constructions. I’ve already written a number of times about the two structural types of constructions in which a sentence (or something having the formal qualifications of a sentence) modifies a noun. Here we will examine a large number of actual examples roughly categorized as outer relation by their structural characteristics and we will further distinguish various types among them, but before starting let us once again take an overview of what areas are likely problems in situating such constructions within the many forms of multi-clause structures in Japanese and in considering the mixture of syntax and semantics of outer relation noun modification constructions. All languages have a variety of ways to combine two sentences, S1 and S2, to form a larger sentence.
