Buddhism and Martial Arts in Premodern Japan
This article investigates two issues regarding the Buddhism of premodern Japanese martial arts. The first issue concerns the historical channels through which Buddhist elements were adopted into martial lineages, and the second pertains to the general character of the Buddhism that can be found in the various martial art initiation documents (densho). As for the first issue, while previous scholarship underscored Shugendō (mountain asceticism) as…

Généralement, les premiers s'en serv…
La place des divinités locales, des bouddhas et du tennō dans le shintō médiéval

First in the context of jien's Buddhist theory of the emperor in the Gukanshō, then Kitabatake Chikafusa's Ise Shintō theory of the emperor are taken up. The case of jihen is then contrasted with these views and serves as the main focus of the essay. Jien accepted the origins of the Imperial lineage from the Age of the Gods, but he believed that the ruler of necessity borrowed from …
Une analyse critique de l'histoire du Shōugyōhō et du Kujakukyōhō
This article deals with the history of two esoteric Buddhist rituals for causing rain in Japan during the Heian Period (794-1192): the Shōugyōhō and the Kujakukyōhō.

The first execution of both rituals was held at the Sacred Spring Park Shinsen.en, located south…
