In Dead Letters, Halle O’Neal explores how inventive makers in medieval Japan, haunted by love and loss, reused and recycled the epistles of the dead for copying sacred Buddhist scripture to create what are known as “letter sutras.” This beautifully illustrated volume centers the emotional intimacy of objects in private devotional practice.
