| Research Abstract |
This project aims to make a full-scale research of the iconography of the Bon religion in Tibet. For this purpose, I exhaustively collected the iconographic materials of the Bon religion which include both images and literatures. I also constructed the database which provides this information on the internet, and I clarified the system of the iconography of the Bon religion. Finally I established a new academic field of the iconographic study of the Bon religion in Tibetan studies. Through these academic activities, I raised the standards of the iconographic study of the Bon religion which has been overlooked by the scholars in Oriental art studies as well as Tibetan studies in Japan so far.
