Collection of Fuken documents - Fukenmonjosan

Japanese: 楓軒文書纂 - ふうけんもんじょさん

A collection of ancient documents from the Edo period. This is a collection of facsimile documents compiled during the Bunka and Bunsei eras (1804-1830) by Komiyama Masahide (penname Fuken), a Mito domain samurai who was a historian in the service of Shokokan and also known as a civil statesman. The original copy he compiled is held in the National Archives of Japan's Cabinet Library. Masahide was known for his prolific calligraphy and wrote many other works, but this book, along with the Shiro Bunko documents, is a peerless collection of facsimile documents compiled by individuals in the Edo period in terms of its nationwide scope and volume. Most of the copies are handwritten copies, with some handwriting mixed in.

Japanese:

江戸時代に成立した古文書集。彰考館出仕の史家で，民政家としても知られた水戸藩士小宮山昌秀(号楓軒)が，文化･文政年間(1804‐30)に編集した模写古文書集。国立公文書館内閣文庫に自編の原本を所蔵。健筆で知られた昌秀はほかにも多くの著述をなしているが，本書もその収載範囲の全国的なことと量的な大きさは，《賜蘆文庫文書》とともに江戸時代の個人編集の模写文書集の双璧である。大部分は自筆模写で，まま他筆を交える。
