The Worship of Confucius in Japan
How has Confucius, quintessentially and symbolically Chinese, been received throughout Japanese history? The Worship of Confucius in Japan provides the first overview of the richly documented and colorful Japanese version of the East Asian ritual to venerate Confucius, known in Japan as the sekiten. The original Chinese political liturgy embodied assumptions about sociopolitical order different from those of Japan. Over more than thirteen centuries, Japanese in power expressed a persistently ambivalent response to the ritual’s challenges and often tended to interpret the ceremony in cultural rather than political terms. Like many rituals, the sekiten self-referentially reinterpreted earlie...
Daitokuji
The Zen Buddhist monastery Daitokuji in Kyoto has long been revered as a cloistered meditation centre, a repository of art treasures, and a wellspring of the "Zen aesthetic." Gregory Levine's Daitokuji unsettles these conventional notions with groundbreaking inquiry into the significant and surprising visual and social identities of sculpture, painting, and calligraphy associated with this fourteenth-century monastery and its enduring monastic and lay communities. The book begins with a study of Zen portraiture at Daitokuji that reveals the precariousness of portrait likeness; the face that gazes out from an abbot's painting or statue may not be who we expect it to be or submit quietly to in...
Kinins IV
Scientists from 25 countries came together at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on October 21-25, 1984, for the 4th International Kinin Congress in the beautiful city of Savannah, Georgia. Many of the delegates enjoyed southern hospitality for the first time. The friendly city with its streets lined with the Live Oak Tree (symbol of the Congress), the balmy weather, and the excellent facilities of the hotel set the stage for scientific events and exchange that proved so successful. The organ ization of the meeting was the result of many hours, days and weeks of effort by many, including from Augusta Drs. James H. Sutherland, John Catravas, William Davis, Jr. , and Hiroshi Okamoto; and from Charleston,...

Kinins III
Since the discovery of kallikrein by the Munich surgeon E.K. Frey (1925) and the elucidation by E. Werle (1936) of the basic biochemical mechanisms which lead to kinin liberation from kininogens by kallikreins or to kinin degradation by kininases, this KKKK field has become a promising subject for basic and applied research. The 'Munich kid', the kallikrein, was found to be involved in important mechanisms of the organism and has attracted special medical interest. The International Conference 'Kinin 81 Munich', held November 2nd - 5th, 1981, covered all aspects of the KKKK systems and related fields. The recent progress was presented in 265 contributions, 93 lectures and 172 posters, and discussed by nearly 400 scientists from 27 countries. This volume contains chiefly the lectures presented during the Conference.
