Abstract

<p>This article will analyze the cultural role of art and literature in religio-political contexts during the Heian and the Kamakura Period. Discourses of death frequently made in art and literature came from the pan-religious philosophy of this critical age which was influenced by Prince Shōtoku's teachings. Thus the aesthetic development of the transitional period must be religiously, politically, and culturally examined.</p>
