This book reconstructs the art, architecture, and rituals of a now-lost Buddhist temple, Amidaji in the Japanese city of Shimonoseki. By exploring artistic, literary, religious, political, and ideological contexts, it reveals a carefully crafted program of visual culture for the salvation of the victims of the tragic Genpei War (1180–1185), among whom the child-emperor Antoku.
Naoko Gunji, Ph.D. (2007), University of Pittsburgh, is Assistant Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. She has published articles on the history of Japanese art and material culture including “Heike Paintings in the Early Edo Period: Edification and Ideology for Elite Men and Women” (Archives of Asian Art, 2017).
