In this major art historical and religious study, Sherry Fowler not only fills an important lacuna in the field, but also uses the long-overlooked subject matter of Buddhist bells in Japan to reorient scholarly attention toward some of the most vital and exciting issues and approaches in the study of Japanese visual, material, and religious culture today: materiality, history of the senses, object agency, object biography, ritual enlivenment, memory and loss, and interregional exchange, to name but a few.--D. Max Moerman, author of The Japanese Buddhist World Map: Religious Vision and the Cartographic Imagination Sherry Fowler has succeeded in putting bells on the map. Hers will be the 'bell book' for a generation, and that is a considerable achievement. There is nothing quite like it.--Yukio Lippit, author of Painting of the Realm: The Kano House of Painters in Seventeenth-Century Japan
