Mark Schumacher authors an extensive website regarding all aspects of Japanese art, particularly Buddhist sculpture. This is not a university-hosted website such as I typically share with students. Instead, it is the remarkable and reliable work by an independent scholar, who after earning an MA in Japanese studies at Johns Hopkins University, has spent more than 20 years in Japan studying Japanese art history, visiting countless temples and other locations rich with primary sources and examples of Japanese art history. This link is to a page particular to Buddhist sculpture of the Asuka age, however one can visit the "parent" or home page and link to many other resources. I strongly urge everyone to visit this website. He generously allows the educational use of his materials, including his own photographs, bibliographies, and essays, with the simple condition that students and researchers correctly cite him, including copyright and exact webpage location.

Now the position of women at this time was very different from what it afterwards became in the feudal period. The Chinese called Japan the "Queen Country," because of the ascendancy which women enjoyed there. They were educated, they were allowed a share of inheritance, and they had their own houses. It is an extraordinary and important fact that much of the best literature of Japan has been written by women. Three of these most remarkable women are the authors of the Diaries; a fourth to be named with them, Sei-Shonagon, to whom I have just referred, was a contemporary.

The Japanese as a nation are dowered with a rare and exquisite taste, and in the Heian Period taste was cultivated to an amazing degree. Murasaki Shikibu records the astounding pitch to which it had reached in a passage in her diary. Speaking of the Mikado's ladies at a court festivity, she says of the dress of one of them: "One had a little fault in the colour combination at the wrist opening. When she went before the Royal [Page xvi] presence to fetch something, the nobles and high officials noticed it. Afterwards Lady Saisho regretted it deeply. It was not so bad; only one colour was a little too pale."
