Teaching Junji Ito on #Halloween ! We are reading Unendurable Maze and we will unpack all the Buddhist elements in the story. Very excited to tell my students about sokushinbutsu (self-mummifying monks). Is anybody else teaching creepy content on Halloween?

My article on Hārītī’s demonic body in Nichiren Buddhism is finally out in a special issue of Japanese Religions on “The Body Religious in Japan”!

My research and teaching assistant. She is cheap and extra cute. But doesn’t know much about Buddhism, Japanese Religions, or demons 🤣🥰 🙈
