Genko's Commentary - Genkoshakusho

Japanese: 元亨釈書 - げんこうしゃくしょ
Genko's Commentary - Genkoshakusho

A history of Japanese Buddhism written in the late Kamakura period by Kokan Shiren. It has 30 volumes. It was the first comprehensive monk biography in Japan, and the first history book in the annals style. It consists of three parts: den (monk biographies), biyo (zizi biyo = chronology), and zhi (Buddhist cultural journals). The monk biographies up to volume 19 are divided into 10 categories, following the example of Chinese biographies of great monks. In 1307 (Tokuji 2), Issan Ichinei pointed out his ignorance of Japanese Buddhism, and Kokan completed the work in 1307 (Genko 2). After Kokan's death, the Nyuzo (incorporation of the Tripitaka) was permitted by imperial sanction, and it took 14 years to publish, starting in 1364 (Shohei 19, Joji 3). Commentaries include "Wage," "Benmo," and "Bisou."
