Item description from seller

An examination of the art and archaeology of Muroji temple, a jewel among Japan's Shingon Buddhist centers. Founded in Nara Prefecture in the 8th century, Muroji hosts a magnificent collection of Heian period pagodas, sculpture and other ritual art. The author explores the reasons behind the creation and survival of such a rich collection of structures and art in the beautiful, yet relatively remote location in which it was constructed. A new, not previously owned copy from our bookshop stock. Some tape residue on EPs from former bookshop protective cover. xiv, 293 pp., 13 col. photos and 70 b&w photos, maps and plans, bibliography, index. Size: 26 x 18 cm.
