This text of the Lotus Sutra’s Volume 5 Chapter 14 “Peaceful Practices” is copied on ryoshi paper gorgeously dusted with mica, decorated with tiny gold flakes across its top and bottom margins, and ruled with gold mud. Originally, it was created as a ten-scroll set, consisting of copies of the eight volumes of the Lotus Sutra, along with the Sutra of Innumerable Meanings (often called the opening sutra of Lotus Sutra) and the Sutra of Meditation on the Bodhisattva of Universal Virtue (known as the closing sutra of the Lotus Sutra). Later, an Edo-era connoisseur/appreciator of classic calligraphic works, Kohitsu Ryo-on (1674-1725), determined that the exhibited piece was written by Ono-no-Michikaze (also Tofu, 894-966), one of the Three Master Calligraphers. Obviously, however, the writing style is different from Michikaze’s authentic extant works. The spaciously rendered classical Japanese-style brushwork is characteristic of the latter Heian Period (12th c.), making it one of the exquisite examples of decorated sutras of that remote era.
