"Even the loftiest of all spiritual traditions rests on a material foundation, and this magnificent book presents that grounding for Japanese Zen with aesthetic sensitivity and historical precision. This is a truly important contribution to the study of Zen Buddhism and the always astonishing material culture of Japan."--Dale Wright, David B. and Mary H. Gamble Professor in Religion, Occidental College, "Even the loftiest of all spiritual traditions rests on a material foundation, and this magnificent book presents that grounding for Japanese Zen with aesthetic sensitivity and historical precision. This is a truly important contribution to the study of Zen Buddhism and the always astonishing material culture of Japan."--Dale Wright, David B. and Mary H. Gamble Professor in Religion, Occidental College "Zen and Material Culture is a welcome addition to the growing arena of material studies of Japanese religions... by directly engaging the material culture of Zen Buddhism in multiple forms, this book is an important contribution to the study of Zen and Japanese culture. It can be used productively in the classroom, both in undergraduate and graduate courses, and it will surely generate further investigations." --Fabio Rambelli, Reading Religion "Following current trends in the study of religion that focus on material culture and everyday 'lived' religion, this volume looks at the materiality of Japanese and American Zen, as seen in the intersections of religion, art history, and economic history... The collection fosters reconsideration of the Zen rhetoric of austerity and aniconic practice, and raises important questions about how ideas and ideals take material form. Useful for scholars of religion, Japan, Buddhism, and art history." --CHOICE "... by directing attention to the 'stuff' of Zen, through essays that embrace various material culture-centered approaches, the publication re-frames (or adds another dimension to) the study of Zen, which - until more recently - has privileged an academic discourse about mind over one about matter.... The essays are arranged in rough chronological order, spanning the thirteenth century in Japan to the present, inclusive of Soto, Rinzai, and Obaku contexts, but their scopes and source materials extend more broadly in time and space... the insights and methodologies the authors work through are certainly able to be incorporated into any course that touches on Zen." --Ive Covaci, Fairfield University "Reading the volume... I came to see great value in the sort of close observation at work in these case studies as well as the synergistic effect of bringing multiple disciplines or fields together between the covers of a single volume. The editors deserve our praise and our thanks as well for putting together a cohesive and provocative collection... The [articles] are admirable both for their specificity and for their insistence on reflecting a larger picture that situates Zen as a corner of larger discourses within Japanese Buddhism... I would like to congratulate the editors and the authors for a very lively and interesting volume. It is most welcome and I know I will use chapters in my Zen class." --Hank Glassman, Haverford College "I agree with Pamela Winfield and Steven Heine's charge that there is a popular misconception of Zen, and Buddhism at large, as meditative or minimalist, and not concerned with worldly material possessions. I am excited that one of this edited volume's goals is to disabuse others of this notion... While there is academic attention on Buddhist financial matters in India, China, Tibet and some work on Japan, I do not see as much on Zen. Therefore, Winfield and Heine's volume is quite timely." --Kin Cheung, Moravia College, "Even the loftiest of all spiritual traditions rests on a material foundation, and this magnificent book presents that grounding for Japanese Zen with aesthetic sensitivity and historical precision.

Synopsis
The stereotype of Zen Buddhism as a minimalistic or even immaterial meditative tradition persists in the Euro-American cultural imagination. This volume calls attention to the vast range of "stuff" in Zen by highlighting the material abundance and iconic range of the Soto, Rinzai, and obaku sects in Japan. Chapters on beads, bowls, buildings, staffs, statues, rags, robes, and even retail commodities in America all shed new light on overlooked items of lay and monastic practice in both historical and contemporary perspectives. Nine authors from the cognate fields of art history, religious studies, and the history of material culture analyze these "Zen c matters" in all four senses of the phrase: the interdisciplinary study of Zen's matters (objects and images) ultimately speaks to larger Zen matters (ideas, ideals) that matter (in the predicate sense) to both male and female practitioners, often because such matters (economic considerations) help to ensure the cultural and institutional survival of the tradition.Zen and Material Culture expands the study of Japanese Zen Buddhism to include material inquiry as an important complement to mainly textual, institutional, or ritual studies. It also broadens the traditional purview of art history by incorporating the visual culture of everyday Zen objects and images into the canon of recognized masterpieces by elite artists. Finally, the volume extends Japanese material and visual cultural studies into new research territory by taking up Zen's rich trove of materia liturgica and supplementing the largely secular approach to studying Japanese popular culture. This groundbreaking volume will be a resource for anyone whose interests lie at the intersection of Zen art, architecture, history, ritual, tea ceremony, women's studies, and the fine line between Buddhist materiality and materialism., The stereotype of Zen Buddhism as a minimalistic or even immaterial meditative tradition persists in the Euro-American cultural imagination.
