Takes readers into the world of Japanese Buddhist manuscript cultures. Using sources that have received scant attention in English, primarily documents from an eighth-century Japanese scriptorium and colophons from sutra manuscripts, Bryan Lowe uncovers the ways in which the transcription of Buddhist scripture was a highly ritualized endeavour.
