Nine essays by American scholars of religion, some fledgling some veteran, trace Japanese Buddhist funeral practices and the philosophy behind them from the Heian period (794-1185) to the present. Among their topics are relic veneration in Medieval Japan, the Blood Pool Hell and postmortem fetal extraction, and posthumous precept names and critiques of contemporary Japanese Buddhism.
