Rethinking Asuka Sculpture: A Revised Conception of Buddhist Spread in East Asia, 538-710 de Hong Wu

Rethinking Asuka Sculpture: A Revised Conception of Buddhist Spread in East Asia, 538-710: East Asian Comparative Literature and Culture, cartea 15

Autor Hong Wu
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 aug 2024
In this book, WU Hong deconstructs the prevailing theory of a 100-year Buddhist artistic lag between Asuka Japan and the Chinese mainland. She proposes to radically re-date Asuka statues, such as the famous Hōryūji Kondō Shaka Triad. The new dating opens up possibilities for revising our perceptions of early Japanese history and interchange in East Asia, while also allowing a fresh account of Asuka statuary to emerge.

Proceeding from the revised chronology and emphasizing local processes, this new account brings the growth of Asuka Buddhism into clearer vision and elaborates on heretofore unknown historical details for an enriched understanding of this critical period of East Asian history.
