Download or read book H ry ji Reconsidered written by Dorothy C. Wong and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Buddhist Architecture written by Huu Phuoc Le and published by Grafikol. This book was released on 2010 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The volume thoroughly examines the origins and principal types of Buddhist architecture in Asia primarily between the third century BCE-twelfth century CE with an emphasis on India. It aims to construct shared architectural traits and patterns alongwith the derivative relationships between Indian and Asian Buddhist monuments. It also discusses the historical antecedents in the Indus Civilization and the religious and philosophical foundations of the three schools of Buddhism and its founder, Buddha. Previously obscure topics such as Aniconic and Vajrayana (Tantric) architecture and the four holiest sites of Buddhism will also be covered in this comprehensive volume. The author further investigates the influences of Buddhist architecture upon Islamic, Christian, and Hindu architecture that have been overlooked by past scholars."
