| 抄録 | In March of 2008, the Department of Asian Languages and Civilizations
at the University of Colorado, Boulder, hosted a small interdisciplinary
conference titled “Illustrating the Dharma: Popular Buddhism in Medieval
Japanese Fiction.” The conference featured ten presentations and one keynote
speech devoted to exploring aspects of “popular” (as opposed to monastic, elite,
or orthodox doctrinal) Buddhism in the illustrated fiction of the Kamakura,
Muromachi, and early Edo periods—roughly the thirteenth through seventeenth
centuries. Participants considered a variety of hand-illustrated and woodblock-printed texts from an array of methodological perspectives—literary, historical, Buddhological, and art historical—concentrating in particular on issues of religious doctrine, practice, and representation in the literary genres of setsuwa 説話 (tales), otogizōshi お伽草子 (Muromachi-period fiction), ko-jōruri 古浄瑠璃 (early puppet theater), jisha engi 寺社縁起 (temple and shrine histories), and kōwakamai 幸若舞 (ballad-dramas).
The present thematic issue of the Japanese Journal of Religious Studies is an
indirect result of that 2008 conference. Five of the seven essays included here
were first presented at the Boulder event, which also inspired our underlying
(and, it was intended, unifying) approach: to consider premodern Japanese
religious culture through the lens of literature, rather than more traditional
Buddhist scriptural, historical, biographical, and exegetical sources. Our two
corollary desiderata have been, from the start, to explore the roles of Buddhist sectarian and/or didactic concerns in the production of late-Heian and medieval
literature, and to consider the place and significance of “visuality” in the
illustrated textual media of medieval and early-Edo Japan (including illuminated
sutras, emaki 絵巻 picture scrolls, nara ehon 奈良絵本 picture books, and
woodblock-printed books and maps).1 The seven contributors to this volume
have approached these issues in different ways, but each engages the three topics of Buddhism, literature, and visual representation. |
