The Monkey as Mirror: Symbolic Transformations in Japanese History and Ritual

During early periods of Japanese history the monkey's nearness to the human-animal boundary made it a revered mediator or an animal deity closest to humans. Later it became a scapegoat mocked for its vain efforts to behave in a human fashion. This work presents a tripartite study of the monkey metaphor.
