Title: “Roku motsu zu” saichaku 六物圖採摘 [Excerpts from “Illustrations of the Six Personal Belongings of Monks Established by the Buddha”]
Author: [DAIKŌ 大江]
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: One full-page woodcut diagram & one woodcut in the text. Three vols. 43; 36; 39 folding leaves. Large 8vo, orig. semi-stiff wrappers with two orig. title slips, new stitching. [Japan]: Sōdōan 宗道菴, 1642. First edition of this Buddhist work; it summarizes a book that was published in China in 1246 under the title Fozhi biqiu liu wu tu 佛制比丘六物圖 [Illustrations of the Six Personal Belongings of Monks Established by the Buddha]. Its author was the Song monk Yuanzhao 元照 (1048-1116). “He was primarily known as a Vinaya scholar, but also worked in the areas of Tiantai and Pure Land. From 1078–1085 he was head monk of the Zhaoqingsi 昭慶寺 [temple], where he worked to transmit the Vinaya tradition” (Digital Dictionary of Buddhism). The roku motsu (Ch.: liu wu) of the title refers to the six personal belongings of Buddhist monks. The six are “saṃghāṭī, the patch robe; uttarā-saṃghāṭī, the stole of seven pieces; antara-vāsaka, the skirt or inner garment of five pieces;...pātra, begging bowl; niṣīdana, a stool; and a water-strainer” (Digital Dictionary of Buddhism). Our book contains extensive discussion of the garments of monks. Several library catalogues attribute the authorship of our book to Daikō (1592-1671), but we cannot find his name printed anywhere in our book. A reader has, however, added marginalia with Daikō’s name at the end of Vol. 2 of our book. Good copy, but with worming touching characters and minor dampstaining. WorldCat lists no copy outside of Japan. An earlier reader has added marginalia and red underlining in the text.

His work hangs in the National Portrait Gallery of London, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the National Gallery in Canada, among other places of note.
