Gukanshō (愚管抄?) is a historical and literary work about the history of Japan. Seven volumes in length, it was composed by Buddhist priest Jien of the Tendai sect c. 1220.[1] Jien, the author of Gukanshō (as rendered in a portrait found in the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu.) Political problems arising from the relations between the Imperial government and the bakufu inspired Jien to write.[2] Jien was the son of Fujiwara no Tadamichi, and his insider's perspective ensured that his work would have a distinct point-of-view. Rather than working towards an absence of bias, he embraced it; and Gukanshō is fairly described as a work of historical argument.[3] The writer does try to approach Japan's past in a new way, but he does so under the influences of old historical and genealogical interests.[4] Contents 1 Contents 2 See also 3 Notes 4 References // Contents The text is composed of three major sections: Volumes 1 and 2 consist of imperial chronicle beginning with Emperor Jimmu and concluding with Emperor Juntoku. Volumes 3 through 6 present a historical description focusing on the transition of things. Volume 7 offers a summary of the state of things. The careful writer attempted to apply Buddhist principles such as mappō to the process of developing a chronicle of people and events. He was also self-consciously focused on the application of Buddhist principles in the analysis of Japanese history.[5] However, Jien could never completely divorce his position as a son and brother of Fujiwara kogyū officials from his position as a priest who studied and practiced Buddhism.[6] See also Kokki, 620 Tennōki, 620 Teiki, 681 Kojiki, 712 Nihon Shoki, 720—historical argument, legendary perspective Jinnō Shōtōki, 1359—historical argument, Shinto perspective Nihon Ōdai Ichiran, 1652—historical argument, neo-Confucian perspective Tokushi Yoron, 1712—historical argument, rationalist perspective Historiographical Institute of the University of Tokyo International Research Center for Japanese Studies Historiography Philosophy of History Notes ^ Brownlee, John.
