Author/compiler: Shūshin 周信, Zen monk, Rinzai sect, of Nanzenji, 1325-88, also known as Gidō. 義堂.
Imprint: N.p., n.d. [c. Kakyō 2 嘉慶二年, 1388] . No kanki. See Edition below.
Description: 4 kan (of 10), 4 satsu. Incomplete copy: maki 1-4 only, lacking maki 5-10. (1) ff. 26; (2) ff. 24; (3) ff. 34; (4) ff. 27. 24.5 x 16.7 cm. Fukurotoji.
Blockprint. Printing frame 19.8-20.7 x 15-15.5 cm. Single-line borders above and below text; double line at inner edge of each folded leaf. Vertical rules. Fishtail design on hanshin.
Kanbun text, with manuscript kunten in black (Muromachi period) and other reading marks in red. 12 lines to page, 23 characters to line.
Renewed vermilion covers of early Edo period, embossed with a floral / geometric design.
Modern chitsu case of floral brocade. No title slips or gedai. Title from naidai.
Hashiragaki: Jō 貞 + maki no. + folio no.
Edition: Gozan-ban, printed at one of the five Zen monasteries of Kyōto. Complete copies of this, the only Gozan edition, contain a jidai 自題 by the author, Gidō Shūshin, dated Kakyō 2, 3rd month, 14th day, which ends: 嘉慶二年戊辰三月十四日釋周信自題. The work must therefore have been published shortly after Shūshin's death in Kakyō 2 (1388), though there is no kanki. The present copy is a later reprint, from worn blocks supplemented by re-cut blocks in many places (including the opening folios of maki 1), probably printed in mid-Muromachi period (c. 1450 ?). Numerous copies of such hokoku-bon 補刻本 are extant, according to Gozan-ban no kenkyū.
Contents: A collection of about 3,000 gāthās in the form of Chinese Buddhist verses composed in the Song and Yuan periods, selected and compiled by Gidō Shūshin in the Jōwa period, 1345-50. According to records, Shūshin's original manuscript was destroyed in 1358 and an unauthorised edition was printed, to Shūshin's chagrin, from a defective copy. This early edition has not survived. Shūshin worked on a revised and corrected version, and had it ready for printing by Kakyō 2, 1388.
