East Asian Architecture from A Global Perspective: Cultural Transactions and the Development of Traditions

Buddhist architecture since the 14th century became more and more integrated into local cultures, creating colorful mixtures in philosophy, ritual practice, as well as architectural space, form, and decoration.
