Beschreibung:
Paul K. Nietupski is professor of religious studies at John Carroll University. Joan O'Mara (1946-2009) was professor of East Asian studies at Washington and Lee University.
Asian art and material artifacts are expressive of cultural realities and constitute a "visible language" with messages that can be read, interpreted, and analyzed. These essays by scholars of Asian art, philosophy, anthropology, and religion focus on objects held in ASIANetwork schools. The chapters' authors tell the stories of the collections, and the collections themselves tell stories of the collectors.
