'Mudra is the Sanskrit term for the symbolic gestures or hand postures used in Buddhist rituals, and accordingly in the iconography. In the present work, Professor Saunders studies mudra with particular reference to the Buddhist sculpture of Japan, but his book is offered as a practical aid for those interested in the iconographic aspect of all Buddhist art.'
