Hokkeji, an ancient Nara temple that once stood at the apex of a state convent network established by Queen-Consort Komyo (701-760), possesses a history that in some ways is bigger than itself. This work explores the revival of Japan's most famous convent and the reestablishment of a nuns' ordination lineage in Japan.
