. taimitsu 751
Most of the works mentioned above are now also available in elec-
tronic format thanks to the work of the Tendai Research Foundation
at Eizan Gakuin.^10 Of note also are the seven volumes of the Onjōji
monjo (Onjōji , 1998–2004), a recent collection of primarily
historical material related to the Jimon lineages.
The following works traditionally have been considered to represent
the Taimitsu canon: Ennin’s Commentary to Jinggangding jing
( T. 2223) and Commentary to Suxidi jing
( T. 2227); Enchin’s Daibirushanakyō shiki
(T. 2212a); Annen’s Kyōjiki (T. 2396, Shingonshūkyōjiki )
and Bodaishingishō (T. 2397, Taizōkongō bodaishingi ryaku mondōshō
); the oral transmissions on the three
major sūtras attributed to Ennin, the Taizōkai kyōshinki
( T. 2385), the Kongōkai jōchiki (T. 2386), and the
Soshitsuji myōshindai ( T. 2387); the ritual exegeses attributed
to Annen, the Taizōkai taijuki (T. 2390, the Taizōkai daihō taijuki
), the Kongōkai taijuki (T. 2391, the Kongōkai daihō
taijuki ), and the Soshitsuji taijuki
(T. 2392); Annen’s catalogue of esoteric material, the Hakke hiroku
; and the medieval ritual collections Shijūjōketsu and Asabashō
(Kiuchi 1990, 381–408).
None of these works has, however, been comprehensively studied,
translated, or analyzed in their intertextual relations. Annen, the great
systematizer of Japanese esoteric Buddhism, is the only Taimitsu scho-
liast to have received a dedicated study (Sueki 1995), which, however,
does not concentrate on esoteric themes.
Modern studies of Tendai doctrine include an outline of its tantric
tradition. Among these, Shimaji Daitō (1875–1927) presented his-
torical profiles of the three major Taimitsu thinkers (Shimaji 1976,
281–345), while Fukuda Gyōei (1867–1954) covered hermeneutical
problems, taking Annen’s system as a starting point, as well as the
major textual sources of Taimitsu (Fukuda 1995,^ 285–502). Stud-
ies dedicated solely to Taimitsu have been few. Shimizutani Kyōjun
(1892–1979) was the first to attempt one, bringing together research
that the abbot of Sensōji had carried out throughout the mid-twentieth
century (Shimizutani 1972).
