The Kyōmyōan Gosho Mokuroku 境妙庵御書目録: Newly Discovered Documents

Abstract

In the past, the author of the present study has engaged in research on the Kyōmyōan Gosho Mokuroku 境妙庵御書目録, a catalogue of works attributed to Nichiren. However, as new documents have been discovered in recent years, it has become necessary to rethink previous research results, with a renewed perspective on the Kyōmyōan Gosho Mokuroku.

Two catalogues, the Kyōmyōan Gosho Mokuroku and Honmonji-hon Kyōmyōan Mokuroku 本門寺本境妙庵目録, have been newly discovered. Therefore, in addition to the various works that have been confirmed so far, the existence of the Hongyōbo Kyōmyōan Mokuroku 本行坊境妙庵目録 and the Kagaminakajō Jōonji-hon 鏡中條長遠寺本, as well as the “Sekimoto shoji-hon” 関本所持本 （Volume owned by Mr. Sekimoto）, were also confirmed. In the future, it is hoped that all of the unseen documents, including those owned by Tamazawa Myōhokke-ji 玉澤妙法華寺, the abovementioned Kagaminakajō Jōonji-hon and the “Sekimoto shoji-hon,” will be made available so that the contents of the documents can be further examined.
