About the Book:
This book chronicles the profound and enduring influence of Buddhism on the formation of the state, literature, art, and the beginnings of technology in Japan, spanning from the sixth century to the present day. It explores the cultural exchange between India and Japan, tracing iconic elements such as the name Nippon, the influence of the Suvarnabhasottama-sutra, the kana syllabary, haiku poetry, and more. The author highlights the deep bonds shared between the two nations, from Sanskrit mantras to the vibrancy of festivals like the Gion, and reflects on the transience of Buddhist symbols like cherry blossoms and temple bells. The book also captures the efforts of Prof. RaghuVira in renewing these cultural connections, including his pivotal contributions in language and educational exchange. Featuring rare historical accounts, such as a letter from General Douglas MacArthur, this work offers a moving narrative of the India-Japan relations
