| Abstract | This article introduces the Sokushō kō of Kyoto, a lay confraternity engaged in
the service of the kaihōgyō practitioners of Mt. Hiei. While it is naturally the Tendai circumambulating monks who have captivated the attention of popular
as well as scholarly publications, my study seeks to bring to light the support
group behind them, focusing on a lay association whose members serve the gyōja during their rounds of Kyoto. I discuss the Sokushō kō’s possible origins, its current structure, its ranks and practices, and the services it performs for the kaihōgyō monks. I also examine why people join the confraternity, attitudes within the group, and the challenges it faces. |
