Kuugenikkushu - Kuugenikkushu

This is the diary of Gido Shushin, a Five Mountain Monk from the Northern and Southern Courts period. Gido himself called it the "Nichiyou Kufushu" or "Nikkoshu" (Collection of Daily Practices) to express his daily self-reflection, but the two characters were added to this collection in honor of his pseudonym Kuka Donin (Kuka Dojin). There were 48 volumes in total, but they were quickly dispersed and are now known as the four volumes of the excerpted book "Kuka Nichiyou Kufu Ryakushu." The entries span from 1325 (Shochu 2), when Gido was born, to 1388 (Genchu ​​5, Kakei 2), when he died, but it is only from March 1367 (Shohei 22, Joji 6) that the diary takes on a typical format; the sections before that and just before his death are likely additions made to compile a chronology. He had connections with many important people in both the Imperial and Military Affairs, including the retired Emperor Suko, Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, Kanto Kanrei Ashikaga Motouji and Ujimitsu, Nijo Yoshimoto, and Shiba Yoshimasa, and is a valuable historical resource not only on the history of Zen Buddhism, but also on politics, society, and culture, and is particularly important as a historical resource conveying the state of Kamakura. Furthermore, his articles on the apocrypha, which show his extensive scholarship, show the highest level of education for Gozan Zen monks at the time. Published works include "Kuka Nichiyo Kougen Ryakushu" (1939, Taiyosha), edited by Tsuji Zennosuke.

南北朝時代の五山僧義堂周信(ぎどうしゅうしん)の日記。義堂自らは、日々の自省を込めて「日用工夫集(にちようくふうしゅう)」「日工集」と称していたが、これに彼の別号空華道人にちなむ2字が冠せられたものである。全体で48冊あったが、早く散逸し、現在は抄出本『空華日用工夫略集』4冊として伝えられる。記事は義堂誕生の1325年（正中2）から死去の88年（元中5・嘉慶2）に及ぶが、日記らしい体裁を備えているのは67年（正平22・貞治6）3月からであり、それ以前と死去直前の部分は、年譜作成のためになされた追記であろう。崇光(すこう)上皇はじめ将軍足利義満(あしかがよしみつ)、関東管領(かんれい)足利基氏(もとうじ)・氏満(うじみつ)また二条良基(にじょうよしもと)、斯波義将(しばよしまさ)など、広く公武の要人と交わりがあり、禅宗史のみならず、政治・社会・文化に関する貴重な史料で、ことに鎌倉の模様を伝える史料として重要である。また彼の該博な学識を表す内外典の記事は、当時の五山禅僧の教養の最高水準を示している。刊本として辻善之助編『空華日用工夫略集』（1939・太洋社）。
