Hokkeji, an ancient Nara temple that once stood at the apex of a state convent network established by Queen-Consort Komyo (701-760), possesses a history that in some ways is bigger than itself. Lori Meeks explores the revival of Japan’s most famous convent, an institution that endured some four hundred years of decline following its establishment.
