Fujita Kōtatsu Hakushi kanreki kinen ronshū Indo tetsugaku to Bukkyō

Published in 1989 by Heirakuji Shoten, this volume is a Festschrift, or a commemorative academic collection, produced to honor the sixtieth birthday—the kanreki—of Kōtatsu Fujita. Fujita was a distinguished scholar of Indian philosophy and Buddhist studies, particularly noted for his profound contributions to the understanding of Pure Land Buddhism and the history of the Amitabha Sutras. This collection serves as a significant archive of contemporary academic discourse within the field, gathering essays from peer scholars to celebrate his decades of rigorous intellectual labor.

The volume, titled 'Indo tetsugaku to Bukkyō' (Indian Philosophy and Buddhism), reflects the scholarly standards and thematic focuses common in late 20th-century Japanese Buddhist studies. By compiling diverse perspectives on classical Indian texts and their subsequent evolution in Buddhist thought, the book highlights the interdisciplinary nature of Fujita's own research. It stands not only as a tribute to an influential professor at universities like Kyoto University but also as a reference point for those tracking the scholarly development of Japanese Buddhist historiography.
