  • The Dunhuang Chinese Sky: a Comprehensive Study of the Oldest Known Star Atlas

Although partially studied by a few Chinese scholars, it has never been fully displayed and discussed in the Western world. This set of sky maps (12 hour angle maps in quasi-cylindrical projection and a circumpolar map in azimuthal projection), displaying the full sky visible from the Northern hemisphere, is up to now the oldest complete preserved star atlas from any civilisation. It is also the first known pictorial representation of the quasi-totality of the Chinese constellations. This paper describes the history of the physical object – a roll of thin paper drawn with ink. We analyse the stellar content of each map (1339 stars, 257 asterisms) and the texts associated with the maps. We establish the precision with which the maps are drawn (1.5 to 4° for the brightest stars) and examine the type of projections used.

Fiduciary Law and Japanese Nonprofits: A Historical and Comparative Synthesis Masayuki Tamaruya (The University of Tokyo, Japan) <Abstract> In 2006, the Japanese law of nonprofits underwent a major reform. Notably, the reform involved a shift in the governance mechanism from external governmental oversight to a structure that emphasizes internal fiduciary governance. As the Japanese law in this area has historically been marked by various strands of fiduciary rules derived from different sources, the event presents a valuable case study on how the shift to fiduciary governance approach can impact the operation of those entities that are subject to the reform. This chapter will begin with a historical account of the evolution of Japanese nonprofit law that involves complex interactions among the indigenous nonprofit tradition, the civil law influence, American fiduciary principles, and the English-style charity commission.

  • Zen War Stories
    ZEN WAR STORIES Following the critically acclaimed Zen at War (1997), Brian Daizen Victoria here explores the intimate relationship between Japanese institutional Buddhism and militarism during the Second World War. Victoria reveals for the first time, through examination of the wartime writings of the Japanese military itself, that the Zen school’s view of life and death was deliberately incorporated into the military’s programme of ‘spiritual education’ in order to develop a fanatical military spirit in both soldiers and civilians. Furthermore, it is shown that D. T. Suzuki, the most famous exponent of Zen in the West, was a wartime proponent of this Zen-inspired viewpoint which enabled Japanese soldiers to leave for the battlefield already resigned to death. Victoria takes us on to the naval battlefield in the company of warrior-monk and Rinzai Zen Master Nakajima Genjō. We view the war in China through the eyes of a Buddhist military chaplain. The book also examines the relationship to Buddhism of Japan’s seven class-A war criminals, hung by the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal in 1948. A highly controversial study, this book will be of interest not only to those studying the history of the period, but also to anyone concerned with the perennial question of the ‘proper’ relationship between religion and state. Brian Daizen Victoria is a Senior Lecturer at the Centre for Asian Studies, the University of Adelaide. THE ROUTLEDGECURZON CRITICAL STUDIES IN BUDDHISM SERIES General Editors: Charles S.

  • Creating Heresy: (Mis)Representation, Fabrication, and the Tachikawa-Ryū
    Creating Heresy: (Mis)representation, Fabrication, and the Tachikawa-ryū Takuya Hino Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Takuya Hino All rights reserved ABSTRACT Creating Heresy: (Mis)representation, Fabrication, and the Tachikawa-ryū Takuya Hino In this dissertation I provide a detailed analysis of the role played by the Tachikawa-ryū in the development of Japanese esoteric Buddhist doctrine during the medieval period (900-1200). In doing so, I seek to challenge currently held, inaccurate views of the role played by this tradition in the history of Japanese esoteric Buddhism and Japanese religion more generally. The Tachikawa-ryū, which has yet to receive sustained attention in English-language scholarship, began in the twelfth century and later came to be denounced as heretical by mainstream Buddhist institutions. The project will be divided into four sections: three of these will each focus on a different chronological stage in the development of the Tachikawa-ryū, while the introduction will address the portrayal of this tradition in twentieth-century scholarship.

  • Shugendo Art1
    Japanese Journal o f Religious Studies 1989 16/2-3 Shugendo Art1 S a w a Ryuken 佐和隆研 Introduction The Japanese cult of sacred mountains began in prehistory, con­ tinued on into historical times, then mingled with other religions, especially Buddhism. Such interactions produced distinct cultic forms, some of which survive even today. Important examples of such dis­ tinctive cults include Omine, Haguro, Haku-san，and Kumano, all of which were religiously significant throughout Japan. Other, related cults, of more local interest，existed in every region of the country, and each likewise had its own identity. For example，most temples on the “Thirty-Three Kannons of the Kansai” pilgrimage circuit developed from sacred mountain cults. The survival of such cults, thanks to popular support，suggests that the cultural complex which nurtured them was no simple one. Tms complex encouraged the emergence not only of art connected with religious rites, but of various performing arts which deeply penetrated the lives of country people. Among the rituals and per­ forming arts which live on here and there in Japan, many are clearly related to the old mountain cults. In fact, no treatment of regional culture can afford to ignore the role played by local yamabushi. Let us review in this light the art which developed from the cults of sacred mountains. 1 Translated and edited from the Japanese. See Sa w a 1975. 196 Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 16/2-3 Images of Zao Gongen 蔵王権現 and En no Gydja 役行者 The founder of Japanese mountain religion is always said to be En no Gyoja, who was active above all in the Omine 大峯 mountains.
