| 抄録 | This article focuses on ritualized scribal practices in eighth-century Japan. It uses colophons, scriptorium documents, and narrative tales to explore how
sutra copyists upheld vegetarian diets, performed ablutions, wore ritual garments, and avoided contact with pollutants stemming from death and illness.
Such practices, often described in terms of purity, spread widely on the Asian
continent in the seventh century and reached Japan by the eighth century.
This article argues that upholding purity was deeply connected to notions of
ritual efficacy but also enabled pious lay scribes to train for monastic careers.
The evidence is used to reassess historiographical debates on Nara Buddhism
with particular attention to the well-known “theory of state Buddhism” (kokka
Bukkyō ron).
