(Ebook) Living Buddhist Statues in Early Medieval and Modern Japan by Sarah J. Horton ISBN 9780230607149, 9781403964205, 1403964203, 0230607144

Large numbers of Buddhist believers regarded Buddhist statues in surprising ways in late- tenth and early eleventh century Japan. Examination of such questions of functionality contributes to a broader view of Buddhist practice at a time when Buddhism was rapidly spreading among many levels of Japanese society. This book focuses particularly on the function of the following types of images: ''secret Buddhas'' ( hibutsu ), which are rarely if ever displayed; Buddhas who exchange bodies with sufferers ( migawari butsu ); and masks of bodhisattvas used in a ritual called mukaeko . Primary sources for these topics include collections of popular tales ( setsuwa ), poetry, ritual texts, and temple histories ( engi ).
