520 |a This study is the first in the English language to explore the ways medieval Japanese sought to overcome their sense of powerlessness over death.

Karen Gerhart looks at how these special objects and rituals functioned by analyzing case studies culled from written records, diaries, and illustrated handscrolls, and by examining surviving funerary structures and painted and sculpted images.--from publisher description.
