Accordion folded Sutra, 10.5 x 29.8 cm., extended length about 15 meters long, [140]p., profuse illustrations, with 94 pages illustrations, balance of text in Chinese, printed on fine mica coated paper.A RARE EXAMPLE . *** **** *** . . MIAO FO LIEN HUA CHING: THE LOTUS SUTRA . . . THE MOST FAMOUS OF ALL BUDDHIST SUTRAS . . . DATED XUANDE 8TH YEAR = 1433 . . * A superb and marvelous folded scroll, lavishly illustrated with large, multi-page illustrations. This is the most famous and celebrated illustrated version of ZONG XIANG QUAN YIN JING, [Shi Wu Quan: Complete Chapter 15] i.e.: LOTUS SUTRA HUI XIANG GUAN YIN JING: SUTRA OF THE VISION OF GUAN YIN. Also known as: MIAO FA LIEN HWA KIN KWAN SHI YIN PHU SA PHU MAN PHIN KIN: The Saddharma Pundarika Sutra. The E SO KANNON KYO, or HOKKE-KYO or DAI NICHI KYO in Japanese. . * First known in Chinese as TA-JIH QING [The Great Sun Scripture] then after 725 A.D. known as the Fa-hua Qing [Lotus Sutra] or the ZONG XIANG GUAN YIN JING, and has always been known as the great foundation or Cannon of Buddhism, and is a religious classic of breath-taking grandeur. . *** PRINTING TECHNIQUE, THE PAPER AND MICA COATING: Printed by hand-carved illustrated woodblocks. This folding scroll is lavishly printed on mica-coated fine, superior quality hand-made Japanese mulberry paper. The R A R E technique of using mica coating is seldom used in Japan and is very difficult to accomplish. Mica ore is taken and then finely ground down to fine dust. This dust is then mixed with a "gesso" type substance or "sizing" which is applied to the fine side of the paper in a thin layer and allowed to dry and cure. The paper is then used in the normal way to be dampened and then placed faced-down on the inked blocks and rubbed from the back-side to impress the image of characters and illustrations. The secret is to not dampen to the point where the mica dust comes off in the printing process. Great skill is required to successfully accomplish this technique. Bound in the traditional Chinese sutra format or Jingzhe Zhunag. . *** RESPECT FOR PRINTING OF BUDDHIST SUTRAS: Being a venerated and respected Buddhist Sutra, extra cost was invested into using the best paper and the equally superb printing techniques with mica. This Sutra was printed with the purpose to be placed within the Buddhist Temple as the honored teachings of Buddha. Some great benefactor of the temple donated the cost of executing this Deluxe Sutra in homage to his faith and the Lord Buddha as a gesture of submission to the Buddhist Cannon and doing what was right. After this was printed, it was then folded accordion style into a narrow Sutra format, designed for a priest to hold in one hand, while the pages were turned, reading from right to left. Buddhist monks used this famous Sutra to read to the Sangha, the Buddhist community. The carvers of the blocks, and the printers alike gained Buddhist merit for their contribution to the work. It was also a form of piety to participate in the production process of this Sutra. . *** MATERIALS AND NUMBER OF COPIES PRINTED: The technique employed to print this great work was hand-carved cherry woodblocks, and is beautifully illustrated, an uncommon feature. The large majority of Buddhist Sutras were strictly text characters no illustrations. This fine example is printed with an exceptionally, strong and very clear registry and impression. Obviously this copy was one of the very first "pulls" off the wood blocks as evidenced by the brilliant registry and clarity found in the stunningly clear impression. Wood blocks generally had a maximum average "life-span" of approximately 200 copies before the blocks warped and checked to the point where they were unclear and mostly unusable. Last printings off bad condition blocks are clearly evident by the deterioration of the black or "key" lines or gaps in illustrations between images, and a general over all poor quality of impressions.
