About This Item
New York: Weatherhill, 1973. 1st edition. Nice copy. small quarto. hardback with dust jacket 143pp., col. & b/w pls., bibliog., index, ÔShinto painting & sculpture, tinged by Buddhist stylistics and theological traits, is primarily composed of works illustrating the correspondences between the deities of the two. These works, in particular those of the peak period of amalgamation from the late 12th centuries, are presented here in their religious setting at, for example, the great shrine complexes of Kasuga & Hachiman; a focus the author uses with skill to give the reader a lucid introduction to a little-known facet of Japanese art, as well as insight into the phenomenon of cultural adaptation and absorption so characteristic of Japan throughout its historyÕ
