Part of the Japanese Visual Culture series, this title describes the efforts of the Japanese monk Shunj b Ch gen (1121-1206) to restore major buildings and works of art lost in a brutal civil conflict in 1180. It includes an annotated translation of Ch gen's memoir, completed near the end of his life, in which he recounts his many achievements.
