About the book

Beginning with the claim that the popularisation of Buddhism in the medieval period was a phenomenon of visual culture, this book reexamines the history of medieval Japanese Buddhism. It treats Buddhist art as religious propaganda and pictorial storytelling as a form of popular culture in medieval Japan.
