Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Los Angeles, 2002.

This dissertation deals with Manjusri (Monju in Japanese) images and associated practices of the Saidaiji Order. Led by the prominent monk Eison (1201--1290), it was one of the most significant religious groups in the Kamakura-period (1185--1333) Japan. The main focus is placed on the Monju pentad statues at Saidaiji and the no longer extant Hannyaji Monju statue, while other statues, as well as paintings and prints of Monju are also discussed.

520 $a This dissertation deals with Manjusri (Monju in Japanese) images and associated practices of the Saidaiji Order. Led by the prominent monk Eison (1201--1290), it was one of the most significant religious groups in the Kamakura-period (1185--1333) Japan. The main focus is placed on the Monju pentad statues at Saidaiji and the no longer extant Hannyaji Monju statue, while other statues, as well as paintings and prints of Monju are also discussed.
520 $a An analysis of the Saidaiji Monju Pentad suggests a mixture of different origins in its iconographical features. In particular, even though the set of statues does not have immediately recognizable esoteric appearance, it was associated with esoteric Buddhism, and reflected the influences of Tang Chinese esoteric Buddhist culture.
520 $a An exploration of the inscriptions and deposits reveals an even more intriguing amalgamation of exoteric and esoteric Buddhism. Both the Saidaiji and Hannyaji Monju statues were inscribed with mandalas, and both contained relics, mantras or sketches of different esoteric forms of Monju, as well as various types of sutras pertaining to exoteric and esoteric Monju belief. These indicate multiple facets of Monju's character, including some aspects not familiar to readers, such as Monju's association with the Two-realm Mandalas, the fundamental cosmography of esoteric Buddhism. Moreover, an investigation of Eison's vision of Monju, where the deity consecrated him with the esoteric Sanmaya Precepts, and an analysis of the vows of the Saidaiji priests further demonstrate the complexity of the Saidaiji Monju belief system. Furthermore, the attractions of the Monju cult in the mappo era (the Latter Dharma) is also discussed, vis-a-vis Pure Land belief.
520 $a Another focus of this study is on the significant role of images and associated rituals in the religious life of both clerics and laypersons. I explore how a great number of believers participated in the preparation of deposits, and how the Saidaiji priests led the devotees to conceive the images as "living" because of the deposits. I also offer an analysis on the influences of icon worshipping, including the eye-opening ceremony, in spreading Buddhism. These contribute to our understanding of the actual religious practice of medieval Japanese.
