Professor Cynthea Bogel (author of With a Single Glance: Buddhist Icons and Early Mikkyō Vision, 2009) from Kyushu University will lead a seminar for graduate students on Thursday, February 11th. The class will focus on the 8th century Hokkedō of Tōdaiji temple in Nara. Readings for discussion will be sent to registered participants.
Although this seminar will be particularly relevant for those interested in Japanese Buddhist art, history, and religious studies, it is open to graduate students in any discipline working on any geographical area. More detail about the topic and the readings are available upon inquiry. Lunch will be provided.
Graduate students from UM and nearby universities are welcome to attend. Those who are interested should contact Chun Wa Chan at gchanart@umich.edu for registration.
