Numerous Buddhist paintings from Song- and Yuan-period China or Goryeo-period Korea were transmitted to Japan from the medieval period onward. Most bear inscriptions indicating that they were produced in either the Chinese coastal region of Ningbo (Zhejiang province) or the Goryeo kingdom. Many, however, lack a consensus as to whether they originated in China, Korea, or Japan. In some cases, a painting might be relegated to the periphery of mainstream Chinese art history, while in other cases it is given some other nationality altogether. It is no exaggeration to call Buddhist paintings imported to Japan during the premodern period conceptually a kind of "border art" that has fallen through the cracks, due to the limitations of national art historical narratives in East Asia. My current survey is on considering the multilayered meanings and functions of the identity of these works by reinterpreting them in their original cultural and social contexts.

- Korean Paintings Amidst “Chinese-Style Paintings”: Comprehensive research on the Reception of the Paintings of Peninsular Origin and their International Circulation
A number of Korean paintings of both Buddhist and secular subjects have been preserved over centuries in Japanese archipelago. These paintings of peninsular origin present an indispensable base when constructing the narrative history of Korean painting, because they contain most of the extant works from the Goryeo and the first half of the Joseon period.
In general, these paintings have been identified as Chinese in pre-modern Japan with a name of famous painters as Wu Daozi, Zhang Sigong, Li Longmian, Mao Yi, and so on, as a result of traditional Japanese connoisseurship and viewing system for the imported paintings from the Muromachi period onwards.
One may evaluate in negative their lives as migrants with ambigorus national origin, however, we cannot ignore the fact that misattribution to famous Chinese painters have made possible for these imported objects to remain until today with high value and sometimes they even have functioned as a canon in creative reproduction of Japanese arts as in case of Ito Jakuchu.
With this in mind, this resesearch illuminates the diaspora of the paintings of peninsular origin with more positive concerns. Their border-crossing or transcultural journey and the reception history over the times and spaces – from their birth in the original contexts, their moving to Japan over sea, their evaluation as Chinese paintings, the circulation to the West, the discovery of their peninsular origin, their returning and exhibition at home, and so on – should be discussed with a description opened to both local and global contexts, and as a consequence it will be proved to be new type of narrative that relativizes the narrow and institutionalized narrative of national art history. - Buid International Symposium: Intensive discussions on the Social Lives of the Daitokuji Five Hundred Lohans from Its Local to Global Context, and publish its proceeｄdings
- The study focused on interactions between Buddhist sutras and paintings of the Goryeo Dynasty Korea from the viewpoint of Korean reception of Chinese cannon in the perspective of East Asia.
- The primary objective of the present research is to review the formation of Japanese traditional culture by analyzing the history of the maritime cross-cultural exchange in East Asian oceanic region through inter-disciplinary studies. By saying cross-cultural exchange, we mean both human interactions and exchange of cultural objects. To be more exact, we will focus on the city of Ningbo that proliferated as a central port town facing the East China Sea and discuss how the culture of China that went through constant changes was transmitted to Japan at each period in history, what influence they brought and how they were recreated and changed in Japan.
In order to fulfill this goal, total of 137 members from history, intellectual, literary, art, and performing art histories, Buddhist studies, archeology, anthropology, architecture, naval engineering, and mathematics, led by established scholars in their 40's will conduct comprehensive, inter-disciplinary studies and aspire to reconstruct the historical origin of the culture of Japan, a nation located within the East Asian maritime region. Therefore, the present regional studies would correspond to the following two criteria as defined by "subjects" in page 16 of the public application details. - This project already published the second edition of "the Comprehensive catalogue of the Chinese Paintings"(Tokyo University Press). The project already have completed its total editions from the first to the third one by the end of the year 2020.
- Chinese buddhist art preserved in Japanese collection is so to speak a conceptional border art, beause of its specific position aparting from the mainstream of Chinese art. From a point of views of Japanese reception, this survey make clear the meaning and function of these paintings in the history of Chinese and japanese art.

| 14. | Seinosuke Ide, From Text to Context: Secularization in Parinirvana Paintings of the Southern Song , International Conference: Moving Signs and Shifting Discourses, 2013.06, In East Asia it was long the aim of parinirvana paintings (C. fuoniepan tu, J. butsunehan zu仏涅槃図) to depict as faithfully as possible the story of the Buddha’s death as related in sutras and their commentaries. With the advent of the Song period and the increasing secularization of Buddhist painting, however, parinirvana paintings began to depart from the content of sutras, and innovative examples began to emerge that reflected popular, everyday views of life and death. This presentation explores such transformations in Chinese parinirvana paintings through a consideration of examples created in the Ningbo 寧波 region (Zhejiang province) by Lu Xinzhong 陸信忠 (Nara National Museum) and Zhou Siliang 周四郎 (Nakanobōji中之坊寺, Aichi Prefecture). Ningbo, which prospered through East Asian maritime trade during the Southern Song period, was also a center for Buddhist culture. In particular Yanqing si延慶寺, located within Ningbo’s city walls, was known as a training center for the academic study of Tiantai doctrine. It is noteworthy that Yanqing si developed a close network of local lay believers through a confraternity based upon Amitabha Pure Land belief. As a context for the activities of secular Buddhist painters and the production of previously unwitnessed parinirvana paintings, it is useful to presuppose the demand of such a prosperous demography of urban commoners. The examples by Zhou Siliang and Lu Xinzhong depart greatly from earlier parinirvana paintings in their incorporation of Pure Land elements into scenes of the Buddha’s passing. As their secularization progressed, these Ningbo paintings, which connect the death of the Buddha to rebirth in the Pure Land, changed in meaning by inching closer to the Daoist concept of immortality. Eventually they would develop into the extremely “Chinese” parinirvana paintings characteristic of the Ming and Qing periods. . |
| 15. | Seinosuke Ide, Standing on the Fringes: An Interactive Perspective on Sōhon Buddhist Paintings in Japanese Collections, 2013 CIHA Colloquium in Naruto “Between East and West: Reproductions in Art”, 2013.01, [URL], At the boundary of two countries, a wide horizon can be seen revealing complex relations that have not yet been researched. This paper will discuss a group of Song Buddhist paintings called Sōhon [Song originals] that until now have been treated marginally within the concept of Sino-Japanese art history. There are many divergent views on the national origin of Song Buddhist paintings imported to Japan since the medieval age. Therefore, the paintings have been placed at the fringe of Sino-Japanese painting history until now, and there has not been adequate discussion about them. But in terms of the art-historical significance of Sōhon paintings, if they function as a substitute for Song Buddhist painting, it does not make a big difference whether they are Chinese originals or faithful reproductions. As a crossing point that combines a Chinese viewpoint stepping into Japan and a Japanese viewpoint stepping into China, the Sōhon Buddhist paintings hold a bi-directional position in Sino-Japanese relations. This fascinating group of paintings complements the history of Chinese painting more abundantly than previously assumed and elucidates the selective reception of Chinese Buddhist art in Japan. By presenting representative Sōhon examples, my aim is to prepare an initial framework aimed at reconstructing the history of East Asian painting.. |
