Description

Rethinking Asuka Sculpture by Wu Hong offers a new perspective on the history of Buddhist art in East Asia between 538 and 710. This scholarly work challenges the long-held theory that a 100-year artistic lag existed between Asuka Japan and the Chinese mainland. By proposing a radical re-dating of significant Asuka statues, including the famous Horyuji Kondo Shaka Triad, this book changes how we view early Japanese history and regional exchange. Through a revised chronology, the text examines local processes to bring the growth of Asuka Buddhism into clearer view. It provides a fresh account of Asuka statuary that moves beyond old assumptions. This volume is an essential resource for researchers and students interested in East Asian comparative literature, culture, and the evolution of religious art. It opens up new possibilities for understanding the complex connections and cultural movements that shaped early East Asian history.
