| Abstract | This study examines the art and architecture of the Japanese Buddhist temple Jukoin located within the Kyoto Zen monastery Daitokuji. Jukoin was established in 1566 as the mortuary site of the daimyo Miyoshi Nagayoshi (1522-64) and acquired additional layers of memorial function as the mausoleum of its founding abbot, Shorei Sokin (1505-83), and the teamaster Sen no Rikyu (1522-91).
Jukoin has long attracted attention because of the sliding door paintings that decorate its main hall, or abbot's quarters. Completed in 1566 by Kano Eitoku (1543-90) and his father Shoei (1519-92), they are among the finest works of large-scale pictorial art to survive from the sixteenth century. Art historians have discussed the paintings meticulously since the 1930's but have rarely looked beyond issues of authorship and style. This has limited our understanding of these paintings and obscured other works of art within the abbot's quarters and the contextual meanings that united them.
In this study of the abbot's quarters, I examine a range of icons and images and endeavor to reconnect them with their historical, architectural, and liturgical contexts. My goal is to deepen our understanding of these objects while demonstrating the profound energies devoted during the sixteenth century to the integration of art and architecture within Jukoin and other Zen mortuary sites. I interweave formal analysis with study of textual materials (inventories, monastic codes, Zen discourse records, painting inscriptions, etc.) and architectural evidence uncovered during repair of the abbot's quarters.
For most of Jukoin's history, the paintings and statues found within the abbot's quarters were neither viewed as "Art" nor related directly to the practice of Zen meditation. Instead, they were experienced within defined architectural and liturgical settings as servants of mortuary ritual and expressions of familial or institutional identity and influence. Portraits of Miyoshi Nagayoshi, Rikyu, and Shorei Sokin are of paramount importance in this respect. Much of this study is focused, therefore, on the production and enshrinement of these portraits. Eitoku and Shoei's paintings, treated heretofore as disembodied masterpieces, are recontextualized within this confluence of mortuary portraiture, architecture, and liturgy. |
