Land, Power, and the Sacred
Landed estates (shōen) produced much of the material wealth supporting all levels of late classical and medieval Japanese society. During the tenth through sixteenth centuries, estates served as sites of de facto government, trade network nodes, developing agricultural technology, and centers of religious practice and ritual. Although mostly farmland, many yielded nonagricultural products, including lumber, salt, fish, and silk, and provided live…
Outcasts and marginals in medieval Japan
This chapter explores outcast and marginalized people in late classical and medieval Japan, focusing on such issues as status, stigma, organization, and control. One theory on origins links late classical and medieval outcasts to craftsmen subordinated to government bureaus in the Chinese-style ritsuryō state. The work performed by outcasts might not have seemed terribly desirable but it was absolutely necessary to the functioning of society. Gro…
Memories and Strategic Silence in Jodoji engi
Jdoji engi, begun in 1372, records the history of a small temple established in 1192 on the grounds of be estate in Harima province.

Selling Songs and Smiles
Selling Songs and Smiles explores female sexual entertainment ("songs and smiles") during Japan's Heian and Kamakura periods, examining the gradual construction of a transgressive identity ("prostitute") for women engaged in the sex trade. Over some four hundred years, the character and public image of sexual entertainment was shaped by growing restrictions on female sexual activity and increasingly negative views of the female body-themselves th…

Solitary Thoughts
IHAVE written this entire text without any sense of modesty or concern about being unduly outspoken. Let me explain why. People customarily humble themselves and seek to avoid appearing overly assertive, but when I came to this place, I resigned myself to my life being over at the age of thirty-five and resolved to regard the move here as the road of death, the journey to hell.

Early kami worship
From prehistoric times the Japanese have revered animistic spirits and deities called kami. Eventually the worship of kami developed into a religious system known as Shinto or "the kami way." The two Chinese characters used in Japan for writing "Shinto" had been used for centuries in China to refer to the supernatural or the mysterious. Adopted in Japan at the end of the sixth century A.D., these characters were employed to distinguish native kam…

In the last month of the fourth year of Jisho (1180), 1 the great Nara temple Todai-ji 東大寺 was set aflame by the armies of the Taira. Destroyed or severely damaged were the major buildings of the temple, including the Daibutsuden, and the eighth-century image of Roshana Buddha within.

The popularization of Japanese Buddhism in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries is generally equated with the development of independent religious movements such as the Pure Land and Lotus schools, which emphasized salvation by faith and simple invocations. Although these movements were indeed at the heart of Buddhism's transformation from an aristocratic to a popular religion, there are problems with an approach that focuses on them alone. To be…
