| Abstract | This article places Nichiren within the context of three larger scholarly
issues: definitions of the new Buddhist movements of the Kamakura period;
the reception of the Tendai discourse of original enlightenment (hongaku)
among the new Buddhist movements; and new attempts, emerging in the
medieval period, to locate “Japan ” in the cosmos and in history. It shows
how Nicmren has been represented as either politically conservative or rad
ical, marginal to the new Buddhism or its paradigmatic figv/re, depending'
upon which model of “Kamakura new Buddhism” is employed. It also
shows how the question of Nichiren，s appropriation of original enlighten
ment thought has been influenced by models of Kamakura Buddnism
emphasizing the polarity between “old” and “new，institutions and sug
gests a different approach. Lastly, it surveys some aspects of Nichiren ys
thinking- about “Japan ” for the light they shed on larger, emergent medieval
discourses of Japan relioiocosmic significance, an issue that cuts across
the “old Buddhism，,/ “new Buddhism ” divide. |
