A companion to Asian art and architecture

---

Faxian traveled regions that we now lump together as Asia. He wrote about what he discovered, translated the texts he brought back, suffered aches and pains, felt homesick, returned transformed, and, in turn, transformed the world’s understanding of religion, Buddhism, travel, geography, ritual, art, and many other things. His traveling companions died, left him, joined him, pursued other paths, kept him company, and no doubt challenged him from time to time. We see this volume as an on-going part of Faxian’s journey, a continuation but also a beginning, a shift in the conversation among Asianists and art historians. On this journey we can see some connections across our vast area of study but we also acknowledge the problematic heritage on which it travels, the shaky raft of wood and bamboo and electrical wire and bicycle parts, sometimes with a speedboat engine propelling us along, unflinchingly denying purity and authenticity while engaging in a project that seeks out emic understandings of the art we study.
