Abstract:

The paper deals with the tales on the origins of Japanese Buddhism from the 11th scroll of the Konjaku monogatari shū (early 12th century). Particular attention is paid to the stories about Saichō (767–822) and Kūkai (774–835), the founders of the Tendai and Shingon schools, thinkers, whose writings have built two versions of the doctrine of the Buddhist ritual aimed at “state protection” and “benefits in this world.” From the elements familiar to the Western reader – “lives, opinions and sayings,” according to Laertius, – in these stories the first one dominates.

This paper explores the influence and significance of the activities of the monks’ militia during the Japanese invasion of Chosŏn, from the perspective of the religious efficacy of Buddhism and the spread of the Buddhist concept of wonder. After examining the concept that the monks’ militia played an important part in the war, fighting against enemies in major battles and constructing and defending fortresses, this paper proposes that the religious efficacy of Buddhism was revealed through the performance of burial and guiding ceremonies.

The article summarizes the results of the historical and philosophical research “Collection of ancient stories” (Konjaku monogatari-shū, 1120s).

The two most important Buddhist attitudes – the world is impermanent and at the same time each event is embedded into a universal system of cause-and-effect relationships – are reflected not only at the level of the c

Abstract: This essay explores how Ihara Saikaku's new form of fiction— ukiyo-zoshi —both adapts and adopts traditional Japanese aesthetics. Saikaku's Five Women Who Loved Love (1686) is a paradigmatic example of the modern conception of ukiyo , which inverts the traditional Buddhist sense of ukiyo , written with a different character, to express the ephemeral, often erotic pleasures of the floating world, rather than sadness in the face of its transience. I argue that, though the modern pleasures of ukiyo are the drivers of the plot, the imagery and the traditional aesthetic pleasures associat

The article features the influence of Buddhism, which appeared in Japan in the first half of the VI century, on the expansion of writing and written culture in Yamato.

The confusion in the Chinese sources probably arose from the ancient tradition of talking knots and cuts on wooden

AbstractIn this paper, I examine the way holy men's huts are portrayed in eighteenth century Buddhist tales from the Saikoku and Bandô Japanese Buddhist pilgrimage routes. These stories suggest that holy men's huts are ultimately located in places beyond the ordinary human life of suffering, marked as it is by impermanence and instability. That the hermit's hut transcends the transient world is indicated in two important ways in these tales. First, the holy men's statues of the Buddhist celestial bodhisattva Kannon, which they carry or carve while on the road, display a preternatural mobility

Visits to the palace of the sea god are a recurring theme in premodern Japanese narratives, and comparing these stories across time periods reveals shifting perceptions of the supernatural world.

In these stories, the descriptions of the sea god’s palace, the relationship of the sea god to the natural world, and even the location of the palace were tied to eighth-century understandings of kingship, weather, and

Children often engage in various types of repetitive imaginative play, acting out stories about things that do not actually exist in order to avoid the pain of confronting their problems. An exploration of children’s play and the roles performed by the guardians and Madam helps us read the novel from a new perspective – the Mujo view of Buddhism. Mujo is the Buddhist philosophy which describes “the impermanence of all phenomena.” In Never Let Me Go, shadows

Such are collections of setsuwa didactic tales. In the largest of them, Konjaku monogatari-shū (1120s), there are a number of stories about Taoists (dōshi), but the concept of “immortal” (sen, sennin), important to Taoism, is more common and has a wider range of meanings.

Abstract:

Historical narrative studies suggest that history can be strategically manipulated and narrated by current actors to facilitate change. The studies emphasize that history can be used as a source of narratives to serve present purposes. Building on the studies, this research investigates how leaders use history as a set of narratives to delegitimize a dominant logic, thus facilitating institutional change. The empirical context of this study is a Korean Buddhist organizational field during and after Japanese colonization between 1910 and 1962. This context allows to examine how a group of Korea

Выборка преданий о Святом ( Годэнсё: , XIVв.) представляет собой жизнеописание японского буддийского наставника Синрана (11731263). Важнейшие положения его учения наиболее радикального извода амидаизма в этом тексте не просто перечислены, но показаны в действии. Полное доверие силе Другого (будды Амиды), равенство всех людей в вере, осознание собственной греховности, подвижничество как способ воздать будде за уже обеспеченное спасение все эти установки в Выборке осуществляются в конкретных эпизодах из жизни мыслителя. При этом стиль, построение, сам подход к изложению теории на практических пр

Abstract:

Wumen Guan 無門關 (the Gateless Barrier) is a gong'an (公案; Jp. koan) collection by Wumen Huikai 無門慧開 (1183–1260), a Song dynasty Linji 臨濟 monk. Originally, for pedagogical purposes, Wumen Huikai selected 48 cases from two anterior gong'an compilations, Biyan lu 碧巖錄 (The Record of Blue Cliff) by Yuanwu Keqin 圜悟克勤 (1063-1135) and Congrong lu 從容錄 (The Record of Equanimity) by Hongzhi Zhengjue 宏智正覺 (1091-1157). Huikai commentated and gave a gāthā to each case. After Huikai's meditation instruction at the Longxiang Monastery in 1228, these 48 gong'an cases were complied together and named the Wumen Gu

Abstract:

In Japan, new developments in the field of robotics are being received with interest and enthusiasm by the population and used in everyday life. This can be explained on the one hand by a long tradition of stories that report positively on artificial servants for humans. These stories continue into modern manga comics. Robots take on positive roles, expanding the capabilities of humans and being of service to them. On the other hand, Japanese religions and philosophies such as Buddhism and Shintoism influence attitudes towards robots.

Abstract:

This article examines the cultural background informing the overarching narrative of the Legend of Zelda series, focusing on the references to Japanese religious traditions associated with the characters Ganondorf, Demise, and Calamity Ganon. The destruction enacted by these antagonists is not entirely negative; rather, it is a part of the cycle of rebirth that is necessary for the renewal of Hyrule both within the series mythology and in the context of the player’s delight in the postapocalyptic and preindustrial green spaces that characterize the games in the Zelda franchise.

Abstract:

In this article the author examines the fox in nature and its symbolic meaning from of a Japanese perspective. Often referred to as cunning, quiet, solitary, and a trickster, the fox is unique and somewhat mysterious in the natural world. Many of these traits are described in Japanese folktales and stories. Historically in Japan, the fox plays important roles in both psyche and culture and holds dual qualities of light and darkness. The fox has a strong association with feminine archetypes and shows transformative qualities. Translating the elements of the stories and folklore, including the r

The curtain rose. The howling of desert wind filled the performance hall in the Shanghai Grand Theatre. Into the center stage, where a scenic construction of a mountain cliff and a desert landscape was dimly lit, entered the character of the Daoist priest Wang Yuanlu (1849–1931), performed by Chen Yizong. Dressed in a worn and dusty outfit of dark blue cotton, characteristic of Daoist priests, Wang began to sweep the floor. After a few moments, he discovered a hidden chambre sealed inside one of the rock sanctuaries carved into the cliff.Signaled by the quick, crystalline, stirring wave of sou

Abstract:

Introduction Japan has long been cited as a major source of cute (kawaii) culture as it has spread around the world, as encapsulated in Christine R. Yano’s phrase ‘Pink Globalization’. This essay charts recent developments in Japanese society through the cute character Rilakkuma, a character produced by San-X (a competitor to Sanrio, which produces the famed Hello Kitty). His name means ‘relaxed bear’, and Rilakkuma and friends are featured in comics, games and other products, called kyarakutā shōhin (also kyarakutā guzzu, which both mean ‘character goods’). Rilakkuma is pictured relaxing, sle
