Abstract

<p>In this paper, by analyzing diaries from the Heian period, I shed light on the fact that handwritten sūtra transcription by women were not rare.</p><p>The Kechiengyō is one example of women’s handwriting. One type of currently existing Kechiengyō is called Kunōji-kyō. Kunōji-kyō is a common name of the Lotus Sūtra introduced to Kunōji temple. Among the existing 25 scrolls, women’s names are written on 15.</p><p>Considering these cases, the possibility that Kunōji-kyō was indeed handwritten by women cannot be excluded.</p>
