Описание: The Ten Kings hanging scrolls at Tokyos Seikad? Bunko Art Museum are among the most resplendent renderings of the Buddhist purgatory extant, but their origin and significance have yet to be fully explored. Cheeyun Kwon unfurls this exquisite set of scrolls within the existing Ten Kings painting tradition while investigating textual, scriptural, archaeological, and visual materials from East Asia to shed light on its possible provenance. She constructs a model scheme of the paintings evolution based on more than five hundred works and reveals channels of popularization, mass production, and agglomeration.The earliest images of the Ten Kings are found in the tenth-century s?tra The Scripture of the Ten Kings, known to be the work of the monk Zangchuan. By the mid-twelfth century, typological conventions associated with the Ten Kings were widely established, and paintings depicting them, primarily large-scale and stand-alone, became popular export commodities, spreading via land and sea routes to the Korean peninsula and the Japanese archipelago. An examination of materials in Korea suggests a unique development path for Ten Kings subject matter, and this—in conjunction with a close analysis of the Seikad? paintings—forms the core of Kwons book. Among the Korean works discussed is a woodblock edition of The Scripture of the Ten Kings from 1246. It is markedly different from its Chinese counterparts and provides strong evidence of the subjects permutations during the Kory? period (918–1392), when Northern Song (960–1127) visual art and culture were avidly imported. In the Seikad? paintings, Northern Song figural, architectural, landscape, and decorative elements were acculturated to the Kory? milieu, situating them in the twelfth to early thirteenth centuries and among the oldest and most significant surviving examples of Kory? Buddhist painting.Efficacious Underworld fills major lacunae in Korean, East Asian, and Ten Kings painting traditions while illuminating Koreas contribution to the evolution of a Buddhist theme on its trajectory across East Asia. With its rich set of color reproductions and detailed analysis of textual and visual materials, this volume will invite significant revision to previously held notions on Kory? painting.
