In the first part of the twentieth century, Korean Buddhists,
despite living under colonial rule, reconfigured sacred objects,
festivals, urban temples, propagation-and even their own
identities-to modernize and elevate Korean Buddhism. By focusing on
six case studies, this book highlights the centrality of
transnational relationships in the transformation of colonial
Korean Buddhism. Hwansoo Ilmee Kim examines how Korean, Japanese,
and other Buddhists operating in colonial Korea, Japan, China,
Taiwan, Manchuria, and beyond participated in and were
significantly influenced by transnational forces, even as Buddhists
of Korea and other parts of Asia were motivated by nationalist and
sectarian interests. More broadly, the cases explored in the The
Korean Buddhist Empire reveal that, while Japanese Buddhism exerted
the most influence, Korean Buddhism was (as Japanese Buddhism was
itself) deeply influenced by developments in China, Taiwan, Sri
Lanka, Europe, and the United States, as well as by Christianity.
