Book excerpt: This volume vividly describes the efforts of the Japanese monk Shunjōbō Chōgen (1121-1206) to restore major buildings and works of art lost in the brutal civil conflicts of the 1180s. Chōgen is best known for his role in recasting the Great Buddha (Daibutsu) at Tōdaiji in Nara, reconstructing the South Great Gate (Nandaimon), and making the famous guardian statues there.
