Cahiers d'Extreme-Asie, vol. 21: The Way of Yin and Yang

Cahiers d'Extreme-Asie, volume 21, a special issue on Onmyodo edited by Matthias Hayek and Hartmut Rotermund and published by the Ecole francaise d'Extreme-Orient, is peer reviewed academic scholarship. Its strength is that it gathers specialist research on the practice across ancient, medieval and early modern Japan in one place, rather than treating any single period alone. Its limit is the ordinary one for a themed journal issue: it is a collection of separate specialist articles rather than one unified narrative, so its coverage is uneven across the periods it treats.
