Muroji:  Rearranging Art and History at a Japanese Buddhist Temple

Murooji (Japan) -- History.
Buddhist art -- Japan.

This book explores the visible and invisible histories of Murōji, a Shingon sect temple, established in the late 8th century, which welcomed women unlike other temples at that time. By untangling the layers of complexity of the temple, the author shows how the contemporary images and misconceptions of Murōji have been built throughout time.
