抄録 | Part of a special issue on intercultural relations defined by Chinese art and antiquities. The iconography and cultic significance of the statue of Shinra Myojin in the Onjoji temple of the Tendai sect's Jimon school,Japan,are examined. The statue depicts a deity rendered with a masklike,starkly white face,in contrast with a considerably more naturalistic attire. This deity,which is part of a group of deities of continental origins whose cult and way of representation in Japan can be traced to China, was apparently first revered as a protector of seafarers and then assumed new,more polyvalent powers more suited to a temple tutelary deity upon its introduction to Japan. It served as a symbol of the legitimate place of those deities in the tradition of Tendai Buddhism transmitted from the continent while acting as an agent for the redefinition of that very tradition. Like other such deities adopted by other sects, whose traits also evolved over time,it personified a sectarian identity whose spiritual authority flowed across and between China, Korea, and Japan. |
