  • 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).

British Library Cataloguing in Publication Data A catalogue record for this book is available from the British Library ISBN 0-203-98627-X Master e-book ISBN ISBN 0-7007-1051-5 (Print Edition) To Shelagh INTRODUCTION How to use this dictionary A Popular Dictionary of Shintō lists in alphabetical order more than a thousand terms relating to Shintō. 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.

    Signature Page THE INTERACTION OF TOPIC CHOICE AND TASK-TYPE IN THE EFL CLASSROOM A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education By John P. Thurman August, 2008 © Copyright 2008 by John Thurman iii ABSTRACT This study was an examination of the effect that three levels of topic choice (no choice, limited choice, and complete choice) would have on students’ Task Interest and Task Self-efficacy (Study 1, 78 participants), and on three aspects of students’ oral output: Accuracy, Complexity, and Fluency (Study 2, 42 participants in 21 pairs). Also examined were the effects that three types of tasks (descriptive, narrative, and decision- making) exerted on these five variables. Data were collected using a questionnaire for Study 1 and recording the participants’ conversations for Study 2. Data were collected in nine consecutive treatments to examine the main effects of choice and task, and the interaction effects of choice and task, using two-way repeated-measures ANOVAs. For Study 1, limited choice promoted Task Interest for the descriptive and narrative tasks, and Task Self-efficacy for the narrative and decision-making tasks to a statistically significant degree. In addition, the descriptive task had the highest Task Interest for the no choice and complete choice treatments and had the highest Task Self- efficacy for the no choice of topic treatment. The findings generally indicated that the participants were more interested in the task when there was choice, and that this led to higher levels of Task Interest and Task Self-efficacy.

  • The Shinto Religion the Indigenous Japanese Religion of Shinto Is Another Centripetal Force in Japan
    Component 2, Part 3 Centripetal Forces in Japan: The Shinto religion The indigenous Japanese religion of Shinto is another centripetal force in Japan. It is tied to the natural landscape as well as to the Japanese sense of identity (Gerbert, 2001). Doctrine and creed are not as significant in Shinto as practice. Shinto claims over 106,000,000 followers out of a population of 127,900,000 (Swanson, 2006). Figure 6: The Heian Shrine commemorates the founding of the city of Kyoto. Source: Alice Tym Figure 7: The Yasaka shrine in Kyoto is lighted at night by lanterns. This shrine is considered the guardian shrine of the Gion, the entertainment and geisha district of Kyoto. Source: Alice Tym Shinto is the "Way of the Kami." Kami are Japan's revered spirits. Shintoism glorifies the principle of life and the principle of the Japanese nation. There are over 80,000 Shinto shrines (jinja) across Japan (Figures 6 and 7). The following website has excellent photos of Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples listed by historical periods:http://www.art-and- archaeology.com/japan/japan.html. They form part of the cultural landscape and are a constant reminder of the presence of the kami in the everyday life of the Japanese. Kami are believed to inhabit particular features of nature, such as trees and waterfalls. Religion was not separate from the secular in early Japan because the kami lived among the people and were unique to their islands (Gerbert, 2001). Figure 8: This parade in Kyoto features Heian Period costumes. Source: Alice Tym The introduction of Buddhism in the 6th Century substantially added to the religious landscape.

That volume was first published in 1994, with a revised compact edition published in 1999. The main text of Shinto jiten is translated into English and publicly available in its entirety at the Kokugakuin University website as "The Encyclopedia of Shinto" (EOS). This English edition of the chronology is based on the one that appeared in the revised version of the Jiten. It is already available online, but it is also being published in book form in hopes of facilitating its use. The original Japanese-language chronology was produced by Inoue Nobutaka and Namiki Kazuko. The English translation was prepared by Carl Freire, with assistance from Kobori Keiko. Translation and publication of the chronology was carried out as part of the "Digital Museum Operation and Development for Educational Purposes" project of the Institute for Japanese Culture and Classics, Organization for the Advancement of Research and Development, Kokugakuin University. I hope it helps to advance the pursuit of Shinto research throughout the world. Inoue Nobutaka Project Director January 2016 ***** Translated from the Japanese original Shinto jiten, shukusatsuban.

    A Preliminary Examination of the Omamori Phenomenon By E u g e n e R. S w a n g e r * Wittenberg University, Springfield Omamori in Japanese Tradition Among the phenomena of popular religious traditions in Japan are omamori or amulets and talismans, which have been enjoying an in­ creasing popularity over the past decade. Seen essentially as conduits through which the sacred power of life flows to human beings, these omamori are both consistent with and expressive of several themes long present in Japanese culture. In contrast to the Christian tradition, which characteristically lauds personal salvation and life beyond death, the accent of Japanese reli­ gious traditions，especially Shinto and folk, has always been on nurtur­ ing and enriching life here and now. Much religious energy has been expended on the ritual sustenance of the normal order: the health of the family, progeny, easy birth, bountiful harvests, protection from storms, prosperity in business and so forth. This order is normal in two senses: it is imbedded in norms which are prehistoric in origin and it is the usual and commonplace reality. The Japanese have been willing to accept this world as absolute in the sense that it has been characteristic for them to perceive kami 神 as residing in all kinds of objects. I f they have not rejected the notion of a transcendent presence existing over and above this realm, they cer­ tainly have given little importance to it. Any place or ooject could re­ fract an otherwise unseen or unperceived dimension of existence. we become aware of the reality of a certain being in an extra­ ordinary manner .
