It is a translation of the classic primer of the study of the Korean art history that organizes the features of the Buddhist images in terms of time period. Chin Hongsup 秦弘燮 (1918–2010) worked for National Museum of Korea and Bureau of Cultural Property. He also served as a professor at Ewha Womans University and head of its museum. He was one of the noted earlier experts in the field of art history in Korea, also serving the Cultural Heritage Committee at Cultural Heritage Administration. He wrote the Han’guk ui bulsang (Korean Buddhist Sculpture, 1976), the Han’guk ui seokjo misul (Stone Art of Korean, 1995), and the Han’guk Bulgyo misul (Korean Buddhist Art, 1998). He also compiled the Han’guk misulsa jaryo jipseong (Compilation of Primary Sources in Korean Art History, 1987–2003) 9 volumes. This book, a monumental work of Korean Buddhist sculpture, consists of three parts. Part 1, “The Concept of the Buddhist Image,” discusses the types, origin, and form of the Buddhist images. Part 2, “Korean Buddhist Images,” illustrates the styles of Korean Buddhist sculpture, after introducing the transmission of Buddhism and Buddhist sculpture to Korea. Part 3, “Korean Buddhist Sculptures,” explores the features of the Buddhist sculpture in terms of time period, examining diverse examples of the periods of Three Kingdoms, Unified Silla, Goryeo, and Joseon. This book has corrected some of the dates of making with recent research outcomes and replaced black and white photos with color photos.

"Korean art is often considered to be subordinate to Chinese art or a bridge between China and Japan. Moreover, as most Korean art history is known through the work of Japanese and Euro-American scholars, there is room for misunderstanding on the subject. But while Korean Buddhist sculpture, one of the fields representing the essence of Korean art, was certainly influenced by and is similar to Chinese sculpture at first glance, it went beyond such influence to develop many unique characteristics. The seven essays in this book investigate in-depth three examples that show this aspect of Korean sculpture--pensive images, Seokguram cave temple, and the Divine Bell of King Seongdeok, which were produced during the period between the 6th and 8th centuries. When we stand before a wonderful work of art we feel a sense of delight and experience catharsis because the artwork represents the oneness of truth and beauty. The works discussed in this book are those that show that truth is beauty and beauty is truth. Indeed, it is impossible to express absolute truth in formative language without achieving absolute beauty, and through the formative arts the author has endeavored to understand the zeitgeist that gave birth to such works. These seven essays deal not only with the iconographical and stylistic aspects, but also the philosophical side of these works of art, and thus attempt to demonstrate that there is an inseparable relationship between religious truth and artistic style." -- Publisher's description

As belief in the Buddha grew and his teachings were transmitted across Asia, Buddhist images, scriptures, and relics were duplicated and reduplicated to satisfy the needs of increasing numbers of the faithful. Yet how were these countless copies of sacred objects able to retain their authenticity and efficacy? Authentic Replicas explores how Buddhists in medieval China (seventh to twelfth centuries) solved this conundrum through the use of traditional methods of replication such as stamping, mold casting, and woodblock printing to create objects that fulfilled the spiritual aspirations of those who possessed them. Setting aside Western notions about the relative value of copies versus the “original,” the book posits Buddhist ideas on what imbues an object with credibility and authority and offers fresh insights into the ways authenticity was represented and reproduced in the Chinese Buddhist context. Each section of the volume focuses on an area of artistic output to provide readers with a thorough grasp of the theological concepts underpinning each act of duplication. Part I looks at the replication of sutras to clarify how the spiritual value of a handwritten sutra differed from a printed one. In Part II, clay tablets, woodblock prints, silk paintings, and cave murals are examined to trace iconographic lineages and uncover the divine identity in each new replica. The chapters in Part III describe in detail the copying of the Buddha’s bodily relics and the endlessly repeated votive act of burying these in stupas. Of particular significance is the visual and textual vocabulary used on reliquaries to persuade adherents to believe in the actual presence of the Buddha concealed inside. Deftly weaving together data and research from several disciplines, including Buddhist studies, archaeology, and art history, Authentic Replicas vividly conveys how replication lay at the heart of Buddhist worship in medieval China, offering a new understanding of how religious belief guided the artistic output of an entire age.
