Receiving ascetic trainings, Kukai learnt and enriched his insights in calligraphy. The book Syoryoshu presented a part of it. Shoryoshu bears many of his poems and Vajirana philosophy as well as his study of calligraphy as fine arts. They are positioned as the beginning of academic study of the Art of Calligraphy. In his discussions presented in 805 and 807, the art of calligraphy and letters was associated with Confucianism, through which Kukai implicitly told Emperor Saga the idea of noblesse oblige with humble and modest language. With extremely cautious words, he preached his philosophy through the calligraphy as a superior to the emperor. He repeatedly positioned himself as a Buddhist monk to isolate himself from the civil world, whereby he successfully detached himself from political ties, and secured his liberty of speech. He used to be registered in the Daigakuryo (an institute to train the sons from aristocratic families to a bureaucrat), and he quit. He introduced the Tang art of calligraphies and gave lessons in the art of calligraphy, firmly standing on his position of a monk. To interpret this dual approach, emphases are placed on his basic viewpoint that the letters arecapable of moving and shaking people. It explains that his viewpoint on the letters led him to the conclusion that he could take a leading position and able to guide Emperor Saga in ruling the country with his unparalleled knowledge of letters.}, pages = {29--39}, title = {『性霊集』にみる空海の書論について}, year = {2009}, yomi = {フジセ, レイコ} }
