Formy przenikania się sfery sacrum i władzy w przestrzeni miejskiej Kioto

Abstract
Kyōto, as a former capital city of Japan, is a perfect place to study the forms of urban coexistence of elements of the sacrum and of secular power. The author distinguishes several such forms, and explores examples to show that the basis of the phenomenon can be found in city planning, as well as in the approach to establishing temples. Among the different forms, we may encounter the transformation of imperial villas into Buddhist temples, the erection of commemorative Shintō shrines and temples dedicated to certain people (such as Sugawara Michizane, or Emperor Go‑Daigo), and the installation of particular elements in temple precincts. Another form consists of unplanned modifications to the temple areas or buildings resulting from political conflicts. All of the various forms show the dynamic nature of the relations obtaining between sacrum and power in Japan over the centuries. P. F.
