Abstract

The appearance of Shingon Buddhism in Japan occurred when Nara was the capital, but with Emperor Kammu, the vision of this religion changed. It was in this context that Kukai appeared, who after his meeting with Hui-Kuo, brought Shingon Buddhism to Japan. In this article we talk about Kukai, the way his school was formed, how he spread his knowledge, and how his influence even reached art, as he played an important role in the development of homosexuality in this country, and was taken up in various manifestations, such as theater, literature, and dance.
