Hōryūji Reconsidered
Author: Dorothy C. Wong
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1993, the HÅ ryÅ«ji temple complex includes some of the oldest and largest surviving wooden buildings in the world. The original HÅ ryÅ«ji temple was built between 601 and 607 by Prince Regent ShÅ toku (573?â "622), one of Japanâ (TM)s best-known cultural heroes. The construction of the temple marked the introduction of Buddhism and Buddhist art and architecture to Japan from China, by way of the Korean peninsula, as promoted by Prince ShÅ toku. After a fire in 670 that destroyed the site, the temple was rebuilt and enlarged. HÅ ryÅ«ji became one of Japanâ (TM)s leading centers of Buddhist scholarship as well as a focus for the cult of its founder, Prince ShÅ toku. This volume of essays originate from the â oeThe Dawn of East Asian International Buddhist Art and Architecture: HÅ ryÅ«ji (Temple of the Exalted Law) in Its Contextsâ symposium held at the University of Virginia in October 2005. Covering the disciplines of archaeology, architecture, architectural history, art history, and religion, these essays aim to shed new light on the HÅ ryÅ«ji complex by (1) examining new archaeological materials, (2) incorporating computer analysis of the structural system of the pagoda, and (3) including cross-cultural, interdisciplinary perspectives that reflect current research in various fields.
