Tohoki - Tobouki

Japanese: 東宝記 - とうぼうき

The history of Toji Temple compiled by Toji scholar Goho. Divided into 3 volumes, Buddha Treasure, Dharma Treasure, and Sangha Treasure, the book sheds light on the history of Toji Temple, temple buildings, pagodas, Buddhist statues, ritual implements, sacred teachings, religious ceremonies, and the priesthood, citing abundant documents and records. The draft version compiled by Goho in 1352 (Shohei 7/Bunwa 1) consisted of 6 volumes, but between the end of the Northern and Southern Court period and the beginning of the Muromachi period, his disciple Kenho added additional supplements. One book of 12 volumes of the draft and clean copy remains, and is designated a national treasure. On the back of the book can be found letters addressed to Goho and Kenho, documents related to the Toji estate, and a fragment of the Gyokuyo.
