DESCRIPTION:From India’s Sarasvati to Japan’s Benzaiten and Ichikishima
 hime. This presentation\, by visiting language specialist Akiko Tajima\, e
 xamines the dynamic process of syncretism through which the Indian goddess
  Sarasvati was transmitted to Japan via China as Benzaiten\, eventually me
 rging with the indigenous Shinto deity Ichikishimahime. Using “water” 
 as the central medium\, this talk explores how these goddesses became coll
 ectively venerated in Japan as deities of rivers\, dragons\, and the sourc
 e of all vitality.\n\nCONTACT: ldennis@wisc.edu\n\nURL: https://www.facebo
