Korean Buddhism: History—condition—art

Korean Buddhism: History—condition—art, written by Frederick Starr and first published in 1918, is a historical account based on three lectures that explore the development, current status, and artistic expressions of Buddhism in Korea. Starr shares his personal experiences and observations from his travels, emphasizing the rich cultural heritage and religious dynamics of Korean Buddhism. This work aims to highlight the largely overlooked subject of Korean Buddhism in Western scholarship, making it a significant contribution to the study of Buddhist art and practice in Korea.
