Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In Japan: Pilgrimages to the Shrines of Art
Japan received from China the principles of that Buddhist art which she herself had borrowed from India, just as she had borrowed her religion, her morals, her philosophy, and her writing. Embassies and pilgrimages were the vehicles of these multiple in?uences and it was through them that in the course of eight centuries Japan received with fervour so many monuments of Chinese art which her emperors, her nobles, and her temples absorbed.
