| 摘要 | Among the most colourful and abundant talismanic objects in Japan are ema—votive portraits—found at Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples in every region of the country. Like its material counterparts in other areas of the world, most scholars agree that ema constitute a mode of folk expression that rarely addresses the topic of death. However, in 2001, a long forgotten variety was rediscovered, which does. Dubbed kuyô egaku (“mourning picture frames”), this form of ema, once prevalent in a remote corner of northeast Japan, challenges popular notions of the nation’s spiritual heritage regarding death, the afterlife, and the connection of the living to both. |
