> Words, deities and icons are fundamental and entwined elements of
> religious liturgies, as suggested by ritual, iconographical and
> literary evidence. In recent years, the joint investigation of textual
> material, temple architecture, sacred images and iconography has
> remarkably enhanced our knowledge of premodern practices, opening up
> new avenues for the understanding of Japanese religion. This has
> nourished the interest of Japanese and foreign scholars of Japanese
> religious culture, stimulating fruitful collaborations.
>
> This workshop brings together researchers from different institutions
> and disciplines to explore the dynamics of ritual performance in
> premodern Japan by looking at the role that human and divine agency,
> sculptures and paintings, ceremonial space and sacred texts played in
> the construction of ritual.
