Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of dogs in China and Japan, examining their role in society, culture, and religion. It explores the domestication of the dog in the East, tracing the origins of various breeds and their relationship to local wolves. The author reveals how dogs have been valued for centuries, not just as companions but also as working animals, including hunting dogs, guard dogs, and even as offerings in religious ceremonies. The book provides intriguing insight into the ancient reverence for dogs in the East, contrasting it with the contemporary disdain for the species in some circles. The book then delves into the rich symbolism surrounding the lion in Eastern mythology, specifically its use in Buddhist and Lamaist iconography. By examining the evolution of lion-dog imagery, the author reveals how this creature became intertwined with both religious and cultural values in China. The authorââ â¢s thorough research, blending historical sources with artistic representations, sheds valuable light on the little-known history of dogs in Eastern Asia, uncovering a unique blend of cultural and religious significance. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
