Zaiarin (1212) and Shogonki (1213) were written by Myoe (1173-1232) as a series of critiques of Honen's (1133-1212) Senchakushu (1198). At the beginning of the study of the two works, we have to define Myoe's basic position on criticism of Senchakushu. As one of the approaches, we will consider Zaijarin and Shogonki comprehensively by focusing attention on the various texts from which Myoe quoted for his criticism of Senchakushu and examine his purpose in quoting them.
The aim of this paper is make clear his criticism common to the two works through the analysis of their structures, and then to compere and examine the texts quoted for it.
