抄録 | The book "The Esoteric Iconography of Japanese Mandalas" illustrates the immense riches of the Esoteric Iconography of Japanese Buddhism in all its fullness and clarity of detail. It is an indispensable work for the understanding and appreciation of Indo-Asian Art,particularly for those interested in Buddhist expression,and its unexplored inter-disciplinary potentialities. This is the first book in English on the Cosmographic Art of Japan as represented by mandalas. The mandalas or psycho-cosmograms reached Japan through great Indian teachers. The Japanese Twin Mandalas represent innate Reason and primal Enlightenment,harmonising in Compassion and Dynamis. It is a monumental work on Tantric Iconography in general,and on its Japanese idiom in particular,wherein the original woodcuts are reproduced. There are 861 illustrations, each identified by its serial number,Sanskrit name,and Japanese designation in romanisation. These manifestations of the Unmanifested free consciousness from the veil of maya to give way to the luminosity of Consciousness, pure and beyond form. |
