The Senjusho: Buddhist Tales of Early Medieval Japan

Once attributed to the itinerant poet-priest Saigyo (1118-1190), The Senjūshō is a collection of Buddhist tales (bukkyō setsu-washū) from the early Kamakura period (1185-1333). Students of Japanese history, liter- ature, and religion will find much of interest in this translation based on the Matsudaira text.
