| Abstract | Medieval scholar-monks produced and transmitted a massive body of texts
known as sacred works or shōgyō. This article focuses on the Tōdaiji monk
Sōshō (1202–1278), who produced almost five hundred texts. How and for
what purposes did a scholar-monk come to generate such a massive body of
texts? First, Sōshō produced most of his texts in the process of preparing for
and participating in state-sponsored debate rituals (rongie). Since scholarmonks’
participation in these rituals guaranteed their promotion, they produced their
shōgyō first and foremost for advancing their positions in the
ecclesiastical community. In addition, copying shōgyō was the main method
of learning and advancing doctrinal studies. The transmission of shōgyō also
contributed to a significant institutional change in temple society in medieval
Japan—the development of cloisters (inge). This article reveals the undeniable
importance of liturgical tradition and the resultant production of shōgyō in
medieval Japan.
