<p>In this paper, by analyzing diaries from the Heian period, I shed light on the fact that handwritten <i>sūtra</i> transcription by women were not rare.</p><p>The <i>Kechiengyō</i> is one example of women's handwriting. One type of currently existing <i>Kechiengyō</i> is called <i>Kunōji-kyō</i>. <i>Kunōji-kyō</i> is a common name of the <i>Lotus Sūtra</i> introduced to Kunōji temple. Among the existing 25 scrolls, women's names are written on 15.</p><p>Considering these cases, the possibility that <i>Kunōji-kyō</i> was indeed handwritten by women cannot be excluded.</p>
