| Description: |
Straddling the divide between art history and religious studies, this work examines several functions of Buddhist statues, all of which helped rapidly disseminate Buddhist beliefs among the populace in Tenth- and Eleventh-century Japan. It also reveals the historical origins and development of modern Japanese beliefs and practices. |
