Zen Buddhist Landscape Arts of Early Muromachi Japan (1336-1573). Available March, 1999. A volume in the State University of New York Press (www.sunypress.edu) series in Buddhist Studies, Matthew Kapstein, editor. 302 pages. $24.95 paperback, ISBN 0-7914-3910-0; $74.95 hardcover, ISBN 0-7914-3909-7. Examining inscriptions on landscape paintings and related documents, this book explores the "two jewels" of Japanese Five Mountains Zen literature, Gido Shushin (1325-1388) and Zekkai Chushin (1336-1405), and their students. These monks played important roles as advisors to the shoguns Ashikaga Yoshimitsu (1358-1408) and Yoshimochi (1386-1428), as well as to major figures in various michi or Ways of linked verse, the No theatre, ink painting, rock gardens, and other Zen arts. By applying images of mountain retreats to their busy urban lives in the capital, these Five Mountain Zen monks provoke reconsiderations of the relation between secular and sacred and nature and culture.
