| Abstract | In 1932, the eminent anthropologist Torii Ryūzō 鳥居龍藏 was working on a series of newspaper articles about famous sights in Tokyo. On 18 July, he and a supporting news team paid a visit to Nishiarai Daishi 西新井大師, officially known as Sōjiji 総持寺, a large Zen temple located in Adachi ward. As he was walking down the hall to the temple's reception room, Torii saw something that stopped him in his tracks. The object that drew his attention was a large, flat bronze. He wrote later that "it looked like a mirror of some kind, and so I immediately ran over, went up, and examined it closely. It was, of all things, a sacred mirror with an inscription from Chōhō 3 [1001]. The discovery we had made filled us with delight and wonder." |
