| Sumario: | Jōdoji engi, begun in 1372, records the history of a small temple established in 1192 on the grounds of Ōbe estate in Harima province. This article will compare the engi's account of the temples founder Chōgen and his successor Kan'amidabutsu, and of the construction of the temple itself, with documentary records. We note the engi's emphasis on the wondrous and miraculous rather than on the temple's role in land reclamation and estate supervision that the documents stress. We also examine the engi's silences, particularly in regard to violent confrontations between Jōdoji monks and Ōbe estate's proprietor, Tōdaiji, and the estate's local managers beginning in the 1290s. The documentary record has little else to say about Jōdoji after the 1220s; and the engt does not fill us in. We will ask what picture of the temple the engi's compilers were trying to project through what they chose to record and to omit. |
