This exhibit shows a bronze sutra cylinder with an umbrella-shaped lid. The lid’s raised central curve forms an elegant line and the double-layer lid locks onto the cylinder’s top. The double-line horizontal engraving decorates the lower part of the cylinder. The broad rim line enhances the stability of the base area. The inscription on the base reads, “Myoho Renge-Kyo (Lotus Sutra) Part I, 10 Chapters and Amithaba sutra script, 11th day of October 1109 by Priest Jogon.” The classical wayo (Japanese) calligraphic style of the ancient court is particularly beautiful. Priest Jogon created manuscripts (hand copies) of the 8-volume Lotus Sutra, one-volume Sutra of Immeasurable Meanings (Jap. Muryogi-kyo) and one-volume Sutra of Meditation on the Bodhisattva Universal Virtue (Jap. Kanfugen-Kyo). He then added the manuscript of the one-volume Smaller Sutra on Amithaba (Jap. Amida-Kyo). Obviously, Priest Jogon copied these sacred scriptures in prayer for reincarnation into the Buddhist pure land (Jap. Gokuraku Jodo). Similar sutra artifacts have been excavated in northern Kyushu, so this exhibit may well have also originated in that region.
