Le Phénix rouge de la tombe Kitora (Japon)
Reading Zen in the Rocks
While museums across North America are replicating rock in their courtyards and miniature versions now decorate offices, these Zen gardens remain enigmatic, their philosophical and aesthetic significance obscured. French historian Francois Berthier traces the history of the karesansui garden in Reading Zen in the Rocks, here translated by Graham Parkes and beautifully illustrated with photographs of all the major gardens discussed. Berthier trace…
La tombe Kitora. Un planisphère céleste dans le Japon antique
A propos d'un bodhisattva en bronze provenant des collections d'Emile Guimet
Le voyage des motifs. II. La Lune, le Soleil et le Feu
In Japanese Buddhist sculpture and painting of 7th and 8th centuries, several bodhisattva have their tiara or diadem decorated with a disk cradled by a crescent. This pattern is also seen in Korea and mainly in China where it appeared about the 5th century. Some scholars had shown this disk-and-crescent motif, which is rather frequent in Buddhist paintings of Afghanistan, took its origin from Sasanian kings crowns. But in fact, it is more ancient…
Le Jardin du Ryoanji
Le voyage des motifs. I. Le trône aux lions et la porte aux lions
A Japanese embroidery of the 8th century represents Buddha being seated on a throne with two lions at right and left sides. This buddhist theme is often seen in China and came from India and Gandhāra, where it had appeared about the beginning of our Era. But its origin seems older: a Mesopotamian statue dating from the 3rd millenary and an Anatolian little figure from the 6th millenary represent the Great Goddess on a seat flanked by two lions (o…
Notes sur la selle découverte dans la tombe Fujinoki (Japon)
Le thème chinois des « Quatre Dormants » et sa résurgence dans le monde musulman
Having already made its appearance in the tenth century work of Shike, the theme of the "Four Sleepers" continued, in the fourteenth century, to provide subject matter for Chan (Zen) painters both in China, during the Yuan period, and also in Japan. Just as China had been influenced by spiritual contributions coming to her from the west, so she, in return, began to export her own culture westwards along the Silk Route until it reached distant cou…
Les premières statues bouddhiques du Japon entrevues à travers les textes anciens
Ancient Japanese texts inform us that many Korean Buddhist statuettes were introduced into the archipelago in the VIth century. These testimonies are more or less trustworthy, but the works themselves have disappeared. If one can accept the fact that Koreans coming to settle in Japan brought images of the Buddha from their country, or that Japanese brought back such images from the peninsula, it is nonetheless difficult to state precisely what mi…
