Recensioni
Historical story in manga form and quite well done I think. If you are in anyway interested in 13th century Japanese religious/political dealings and a monk "going against the grain of the times trying to set things right" as the centerpiece... then this is for you. I suppose this would be the equiv Leggi tutto
'Nichiren' by Masahiko Murakami and Ken Tanaka is a well done manga, but at times, it's history feels a bit like propaganda. In 13th century Japan, there are lots of religious factions. Nichiren comes along and tries to get all the Buddhists to practice the lotus sutra. Unfortunately, this doesn't me Leggi tutto
Looking for a non-typical comic book to read? Well, picking up Nichiren will be a good start. It focuses on religion and faith. As a Japanese Studies graduate, it was pretty interesting for me since it reminds me of all the subjects I took before. Such read always tickles my curiosity to learn more
I received a free copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I studied a lot of religion in college, enough to complete a second major.

The book focused heavily on the religion and the correct interpretations of said religion of the time, which I found I liked (even though it was ra Leggi tutto
Nichiren - Un manga inutile Verso la metà del XIII secolo, il sud del Giappone subì una serie di calamità. Durante questo periodo, un uomo cominciò a mostrare alle persone come superare le loro sofferenze e vivere seguendo la saggezza del Budda. Almeno, questo è quanto afferma l'inizio di questo man Leggi tutto
kisah hidup nichiren cukup menarik tapi tidak lengkap dan ditutup dengan ending yang menggantung serta penjelasan singkat saja diawali dengan bencana gempa yang disaksikan nichiren di usia 30 tahun hingga usia 50 tahun, perjuangannya menyebarkan ajaran buddha sutra teratai tidak mudah dan dihalangi o Leggi tutto
Beautifully drawn, but in terms of a story the tale ends abruptly. As for the beliefs espoused, it comes off as vacant and I learned little about Buddhist beliefs, are more about political infighting and social upheaval in feudal Japan.
