The Way to Liberation: Indological Studies in Japan


The Way to Liberation: Indological Studies in Japan
By- Sengaku Mayeda in collaboration with Y. Matsunami, M. Tokunaga and H. Marui

For the past 100 years, books and periodicals in the field of Indological studies in Japan have increased enomously year by year in number and diversity of subject and methodology. However, these achievements by Japanese scholars have overwhelmingly been published in Japanese and, therefore, they have hardly been accessible to most Indian, European and American scholars. This tendency remains true even today.
The present work in two volumes was planned for the purpose of rectifying the present situation even in some small measure. It consists of articles written by comparatively younger Japanese scholars who are at present actively engaged in the various fields of Indological studies and, in addition, selected bibliographies of Indolgical publications in Japan for the past 10 years from 1987 to 1997.

Sengaku Mayeda is Professor Emerius at the University of Tokyo and Head of the Graduate School of Human and Cultural Studies at Musashino Women’s University.
