Large numbers of Buddhist believers regarded Buddhist statues in
surprising ways in late- tenth and early eleventh century Japan.
Examination of such questions of functionality contributes to a
broader view of Buddhist practice at a time when Buddhism was
rapidly spreading among many levels of Japanese society. This book
focuses particularly on the function of the following types of
images: "secret Buddhas" ("hibutsu"), which are rarely if ever
displayed; Buddhas who exchange bodies with sufferers ("migawari"
"butsu"); and masks of bodhisattvas used in a ritual called
"mukaeko," Primary sources for these topics include collections of
popular tales ("setsuwa"), poetry, ritual texts, and temple
histories ("engi").
