Studies in Japanese Buddhism is a comprehensive book written by August Karl Reischauer, a renowned scholar of Japanese history and culture. The book explores the development of Buddhism in Japan, from its introduction in the 6th century to its evolution into a distinctively Japanese form of Buddhism. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a particular aspect of Japanese Buddhism. The first chapter provides an overview of the historical and cultural context in which Buddhism was introduced to Japan. The following chapters delve into the various schools of Buddhism that emerged in Japan, including Tendai, Shingon, Zen, and Pure Land Buddhism. Throughout the book, Reischauer examines the key figures, texts, and practices that have shaped Japanese Buddhism. He also explores the ways in which Buddhism has interacted with other aspects of Japanese culture, such as art, literature, and politics. Overall, Studies in Japanese Buddhism is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of Buddhism in Japan. It provides a detailed and insightful analysis of the subject matter, and is written in a clear and accessible style.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
