Invitation to Buddhist Rituals: Classical Literature and Buddhist Rituals

  • Classical Japanese literature
  • Medieval Japanese literature
  • Buddhism
  • Rites
  • Performing arts

Buddhist rites occupied an important place in ancient and medieval society. Texts that were excellent artistic works were chanted in Buddhist rituals, and these texts often contained elements of performing arts. In this course, we will focus on the language (texts) and music (performing arts elements) of Buddhist rites and examine how literature, religion, and theater intersected one another in the medieval period. Additionally, we will take a multi-layered approach to reflect on the Buddhist rites that are still being performed today and consider their modern meaning.
