In the richly illustrated Seeking ??kyamuni, Richard M. Jaffe reveals the experiences of the first Japanese Buddhists who traveled to South Asia in search of Buddhist knowledge beginning in 1873. Analyzing the impact of these voyages on Japanese conceptions of Buddhism, he argues that South Asia developed into a pivotal nexus for the development of twentieth-century Japanese Buddhism. Jaffe shows that Japan's growing economic ties to the subcontinent following World War I fostered even more Japanese pilgrimage and study at Buddhism's foundational sites. Tracking the Japanese travelers who returned home, as well as South Asians who visited Japan, Jaffe describes how the resulting flows of knowledge, personal connections, linguistic expertise, and material artifacts of South and Southeast Asian Buddhism instantiated the growing popular consciousness of Buddhism as a pan-Asian tradition-in the heart of Japan. 410 0$aBuddhism and modernity. 410 0$aChicago scholarship online. 606 $aBuddhism$zJapan$xHistory$y1868-1945 606 $aBuddhists$xTravel$zSouth Asia$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aBuddhists$xTravel$zSouth Asia$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJapanese$xTravel$zSouth Asia$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aJapanese$xTravel$zSouth Asia$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aJapan$xRelations$zSouth Asia 607 $aSouth Asia$xRelations$zJapan 615 0$aBuddhism$xHistory 615 0$aBuddhists$xTravel$xHistory 615 0$aBuddhists$xTravel$xHistory 615 0$aJapanese$xTravel$xHistory 615 0$aJapanese$xTravel$xHistory 676 $a294.30952 700 $aJaffe$b Richard M.$f1954-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0690310 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968955303321 996 $aSeeking Sakyamuni$94344327 997 $aUNINA
