Colophons by the Tōdaiji monk Sōshō (1202–1278)
Scholar monks of medieval Japan produced a vast body of manuscripts called shgy. This paper focuses on shgy of the Tdaiji monk Ssh (1202-1278), especially his colophons (okugaki). In examining medieval shgy manuscripts in general and Ssh's in particular, modern scholars have tended to concentrate on what Markus Schiegg calls the 'assertive' aspect of a colophon, that is, a colophon that 'tells us something about the scribe and the scribal context…
The Halo of Golden Light
In this pioneering study of the shifting status of the emperor within court society and the relationship between the state and the Buddhist community during the Heian period (794-1185), Asuka Sango details the complex ways in which the emperor and other elite ruling groups employed Buddhist ritual to legitimate their authority. Although considered a descendant of the sun goddess, Amaterasu, the emperor used Buddhist idiom, particularly the ideal …
The Halo of Golden Light
The Halo of Golden Light examines the complex ways in which the emperor and other elite ruling groups employed Buddhist rituals to legitimate their authority. Although considered a descendant of the sun goddess, Amaterasu, the emperor used Buddhist idiom, particularly the ideal king as depicted in the Golden Light Sutra, to express his right to rule. In the Heian period, these ideals presented in the sutra became the basis of a number of court-sp…

Buddhist Debate in Medieval Japan
Buddhist debate was an oral exchange of questions and answers between two monks or nuns concerning issues of Buddhist doctrine. Although it has received considerable attention from scholars of Indian and Tibetan Buddhism, its vitality in medieval Japan has only recently begun receiving scholarly attention. As recent scholarship has emphasized, not only was participating in debates where issues of Buddhist doctrine were intensely deliberated indis…
Buddhist Debate and the Production and Transmission of Shōgyō in Medieval Japan
Medieval scholar-monks produced and transmitted a massive body of texts known as sacred works or shogyo. This article focuses on the Todaiji monk Sosho (1202-1278), who produced almost five hundred texts. How and for what purposes did a scholar-monk come to generate such a massive body of texts? First, Sosho produced most of his texts in the process of preparing for and participating in state-sponsored debate rituals (rongie). Since scholarmonks'…

Emperor Go-Daigo's Rule and the Monks of the Vinaya School
Cet article porte sur deux moines liés à l 'empereur Go-Daigo qui entra dans l'histoire japonaise avec une tentative de restauration de l'autorité impériale dite « restauration de l'ère Kenmu ». Ces moines apparaissent sous des traits différents dans les textes de l'époque, notamment dans le grand récit épique de l'époque, le Taiheiki (Chronique de la grande paix) décrivant les événements depuis la chute de Hōjō Takatoki jusqu'à la fin de l'époqu…
