kujihongi

Updated: July 26, 2025

It was known afterwards as the Kujihongi, and twenty-five years later when as will presently be seen the execution of the Soga chief took place, the book was partially consumed by fire. The question of authenticity is still unsettled. Shotoku's name is further connected with calendar making, though no particulars of his work in that line are on record.
