This manuscript comes from a set of the entire sutra compendium (J., issaikyô) that the cloistered emperor Toba (1103-56) originally intended to dedicate to Kyoto's Jingo-ji Temple. In Bunji 1 (1185), the cloistered emperor Goshirakawa (1127-92) fulfiled this wish by having the set completed. Auspicious flowers and arabesques in gold and silver ink adorn its cover, while the title of the sutra, brushed in gold, appears within a framed plate in the upper left corner. The frontispiece depicts the historic Buddha Sakyamuni giving a sermon. To the lower left of this image is the red seal of the temple, which reads "Jingo-ji.
