Halle O'Neal is Chancellor's Fellow and Lecturer at the Edinburgh College of Art, University of Edinburgh, Scotland.
"O'Neal's new book untangles these mandalas' visual and
performative complexity. Impressively researched and broadly
conceived, the five chapters of this study investigate the key
aspects of the jeweled pagoda mandalas' composition, their textual
and visual content, and the historical and cross-cultural contexts
of their production...The feast of visual material investigated in
O'Neal's book is so rich."-Anna Andreeva, Journal of Japanese
Studies
"Lively, provocative, and ambitious...Stands out as a very
impressive, well-researched, satisfying, and nearly exhaustive
study of relatively undocumented paintings and their historical
circumstances...Serves in many ways as a model for scholarship on
premodern Japanese Buddhist icons."-Cynthea J. Bogel, Monumenta
Nipponica
