The contributions focus on different aspects of the interchange between Japanese Buddhists and their European interlocutors ranging from the halls of Oxford to the temples of Nara. They break the mould of previous scholarship and redress the imbalances inherent in Eurocentric accounts of the construction of Buddhism as an object of professorial interest. Contributors are: Micah Auerback, Mick Deneckere, Stephan Kigensan Licha, Hans Martin Krämer, Ōmi Toshihiro, Jakub Zamorski, Suzanne Marchand, Martin Baumann, Catherine Fhima, and Roland Lardinois"-- AB This volume offers a new perspective on the formation of academic Buddhist studies by giving equal weight to the agency of Asian and European actors. thus filling an important lacuna in critical scholarship on the history of Orientalist knowledge AB Introduction / Stephan Licha and Hans Martin Krämer -- Part I.
