It is a scholarly quarterly periodical with contributions by numerous universities, colleges, and museum collections. Many of its issues were originally destined for institutional collections; thus it is a lucky stroke of luck to f…ind any unbound, original issue on the market. Issues from the 1950s are particularly scarce on the market. The "Bulletin" focuses on scholarly investigations and has provided much valuable information through the years. Issues are frequently illustrated with telling and fascinating illustrations. CONTENTS - MAIN ARTICLES : * Notes on Horyuji, and the Sculpture of the "Suikō Period" [Buddhist Art] --- by Alexander C.

This massive and multidisciplinary work examines the images of the Buddha and of Buddhahood over 2500 years in many different parts of Asia. The authors situate the images within religious, national, spiritual, and anthopological contexts.
