  • Powerful Warriors and Influential Clergy Interaction and Conflict Between the Kamakura Bakufu and Religious Institutions
    UNIVERSITY OF HAWAllllBRARI Powerful Warriors and Influential Clergy Interaction and Conflict between the Kamakura Bakufu and Religious Institutions A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN HISTORY MAY 2003 By Roy Ron Dissertation Committee: H. Paul Varley, Chairperson George J. Tanabe, Jr. Edward Davis Sharon A. Minichiello Robert Huey ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Writing a doctoral dissertation is quite an endeavor. What makes this endeavor possible is advice and support we get from teachers, friends, and family. The five members of my doctoral committee deserve many thanks for their patience and support. Special thanks go to Professor George Tanabe for stimulating discussions on Kamakura Buddhism, and at times, on human nature. But as every doctoral candidate knows, it is the doctoral advisor who is most influential. In that respect, I was truly fortunate to have Professor Paul Varley as my advisor. His sharp scholarly criticism was wonderfully balanced by his kindness and continuous support. I can only wish others have such an advisor. Professors Fred Notehelfer and Will Bodiford at UCLA, and Jeffrey Mass at Stanford, greatly influenced my development as a scholar. Professor Mass, who first introduced me to the complex world of medieval documents and Kamakura institutions, continued to encourage me until shortly before his untimely death. I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to them. In Japan, I would like to extend my appreciation and gratitude to Professors Imai Masaharu and Hayashi Yuzuru for their time, patience, and most valuable guidance.

  • YOKOHAMA and KOBE, JAPAN
    YOKOHAMA and KOBE, JAPAN Arrive Yokohama: 0800 Sunday, January 27 Onboard Yokohama: 2100 Monday, January 28 Arrive Kobe: 0800 Wednesday, January 30 Onboard Kobe: 1800 Thursday, January 31 Brief Overview: The "Land of the Rising Sun" is a country where the past meets the future. Japanese culture stretches back millennia, yet has created some of the latest modern technology and trends. Japan is a study in contrasts and contradictions; in the middle of a modern skyscraper you might discover a sliding wooden door which leads to a traditional chamber with tatami mats, calligraphy, and tea ceremony. These juxtapositions mean you may often be surprised and rarely bored by your travels in Japan. Voyagers will have the opportunity to experience Japanese hospitality first-hand by participating in a formal tea ceremony, visiting with a family in their home in Yokohama or staying overnight at a traditional ryokan. Japan has one of the world's best transport systems, which makes getting around convenient, especially by train. It should be noted, however, that travel in Japan is much more expensive when compared to other Asian countries. Japan is famous for its gardens, known for its unique aesthetics both in landscape gardens and Zen rock/sand gardens. Rock and sand gardens can typically be found in temples, specifically those of Zen Buddhism. Buddhist and Shinto sites are among the most common religious sites, sure to leave one in awe. From Yokohama: Nature lovers will bask in the splendor of Japan’s iconic Mount Fuji and the Silver Frost Festival. Kamakura and Tokyo are also nearby and offer opportunities to explore Zen temples and be led in meditation by Zen monks.

  • Memories and Strategic Silence in Jōdoji Engi
    Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 42/1: 109–131 © 2015 Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture Janet R. Goodwin and Kevin Wilson Memories and Strategic Silence in Jōdoji engi Jōdoji engi, begun in 1372, records the history of a small temple established in 1192 on the grounds of Ōbe estate in Harima province. This article will compare the engi’s account of the temple’s founder Chōgen and his successor Kan’amidabutsu, and of the construction of the temple itself, with documen- tary records. We note the engi’s emphasis on the wondrous and miraculous rather than on the temple’s role in land reclamation and estate supervision that the documents stress. We also examine the engi’s silences, particularly in regard to violent confrontations between Jōdoji monks and Ōbe estate’s pro- prietor, Tōdaiji, and the estate’s local managers beginning in the 1290s. The documentary record has little else to say about Jōdoji after the 1220s; and the engi does not fill us in. We will ask what picture of the temple the engi’s com- pilers were trying to project through what they chose to record and to omit. keywords: Jōdoji—Chōgen—Kan’amidabutsu—Ōbe estate—Tōdaiji—jishū— cultural capital Janet R. Goodwin is a research associate at the East Asian Studies Center, University of Southern California.

  • Tokyo to Osaka: Subduction by Slow Train*
    TOKYO TO OSAKA: SUBDUCTION BY SLOW TRAIN* Wes Gibbons 2020 This Holiday Geology guide offers an alternative approach to train travel between Tokyo and the Osaka/Kyoto/Nara area. The journey takes it slow by using the extensive network of local trains, giving time to enjoy the scenery and sample a taste of everyday life in Japan. Instead of hurtling from Tokyo to Osaka by Shinkansen bullet train in three hours, our route takes over a week as we meander from the suburbs of Greater Tokyo to the peaceful shrines of Kamakura and the spa-town of Atami, skirting Mount Fuji to pass Nagoya on the way to the isolated splendours of the Kii Peninsula before reconnecting with the urban masses on the approach to Osaka. For those with extra time to spend, we recommend finishing the trip off with a visit to Nara (from where Kyoto is less than an hour away). The journey is a very Japanese experience. You will see few non-Japanese people in most of the places visited, and it is difficult not to be impressed with the architecture, history, scenery and tranquillity of the many shrines passed on the way. The Kii Peninsula in particular offers a glimpse into Old Japan, especially because the route includes walking along parts of the Kumano Kudo ancient pilgrimage trail (Days 5-7). *Cite as: Gibbons, W. 2020.

  • Embracing Death and the Afterlife: Sculptures of Enma and His Entourage at Rokuharamitsuji
    Embracing Death and the Afterlife: Sculptures of Enma and His Entourage at Rokuharamitsuji By Ó 2018 Ye-Gee Kwon Submitted to the graduate degree program in Art History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ___________________________ Chair: Sherry D. Fowler ___________________________ Amy E. McNair ___________________________ Maya Stiller ___________________________ Maki Kaneko ___________________________ Kyoim Yun Date Defended: 5 October 2018 The dissertation committee for Ye-Gee Kwon certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Embracing Death and the Afterlife: Sculptures of Enma and His Entourage at Rokuharamitsuji ___________________________ Chair: Sherry D. Fowler Date Approved: 5 October 2018 ii Abstract This dissertation investigates a sculptural group of Enma and his entourage that was once enshrined in an Enma hall located within the Kyoto temple Rokuharamitsuji precinct, and hopes to highlight the role that significant yet understudied sculptures played in the development of the cult of Enma and the Ten Kings in premodern Japan. Rokuharamitsuji is of great importance to study the cult of Enma and the Ten Kings not only for its rare early sculptures of Enma and his two assistants created in the thirteenth century when the cult began to flourish in Japan, but also for the later addition of a seventeenth-century Datsueba sculpture, which reveals the evolution of the cult through its incorporation of Japanese popular belief. This study examines how the Rokuharamitsuji sculptural group presented images of hell within a designated space and conveyed messages of salvation to their beholders, responding to the environs of the salvation- oriented temple.

It is fundamental Uthat art history should be analyzed in terms of style itself, and not simply against the background provided by political history. We know that Eurocen- trism has been criticized recently from a multiculturalist perspective, but this should be no obstacle to the use by other cultures of similar methods to those applied to European art history. Using such approaches, Japanese art could be seen to be compatible with Western art. My book, A History of Japanese Art, published in an English edition, is an attempt along those lines.1 This paper is also one approach to explaining the Japanese style of Classi- cism, which could be compared with Renaissance Classical art in Europe.
