Transforming the Void
Transforming the Void: Embryological Discourse and Reproductive Imagery in East Asian Religions considers paths to self-cultivation and salvation that are patterned on human embryological development or procreative imagery in the religions of China and Japan.

In The Crafting of the 10,000 Things, Dagmar Schäfer probes this fascinating text and the leg...
