{"product_id":"buddhas-and-kami-in-japan-fabio-rambelli-9781138965164","title":"Buddhas and Kami in Japan: Honji Suijaku as a Combinatory Paradigm","description":"This volume offers a multidisciplinary approach to the combinatory tradition that dominated premodern and early modern Japanese religion, known as \u003cem\u003ehonji suijaku\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eoriginals and their traces\u003c\/em\u003e). It questions received, simplified accounts of the interactions between Shinto and Japanese Buddhism, and presents a more dynamic and variegated religious world, one in which the deities' Buddhist originals and local traces did not constitute one-to-one associations, but complex combinations of multiple deities based on semiotic operations, doctrines, myths, and legends. The book's essays, all based on specific case studies, discuss the \u003cem\u003ehonji suijaku\u003c\/em\u003e paradigm from a number of different perspectives, always integrating historical and doctrinal analysis with interpretive insights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fabio Rambelli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138965162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138965164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.79d","brand":"Fabio Rambelli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44063788400895,"sku":"9781138965164","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_324d2a6e-af93-46f3-bd4e-568822fc5247.jpg?v=1685391654","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/buddhas-and-kami-in-japan-fabio-rambelli-9781138965164","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
