@article{oai:kansai-u.repo.nii.ac.jp:00001954, author = {高田, 時雄}, journal = {関西大学東西学術研究所紀要}, month = {Apr}, note = {An ink rubbing copy of an inkstone done on two sheets can be found in the envelope of a letter from Iwai Taketoshi (1886‒1965) addressed to Naito Torajiro (1866‒1934), which is now kept as a part of the Naito Collection at Kansai University. In this letter dated November 10, 1933, Iwai calls the inkstone "Shumisen Kenboku," or the Inkstone of Mount Sumeru, presumably because it resembles the shape of the legendary mountain. This inkstone is worth much attention as its inscription was made in 'Phags-pa script, and represents a rare example of 'Phags-pa stationery. Since most 'Phags-pa material is of an official nature, the value of the inkstone is high despite the fact that its whereabouts is unknown, and the only trace of the object is through the rubbing. In seeking information on the inkstone, it is discovered that Naito saw the object much earlier than the date of the letter, and had earlier tried to send a transcription of the inscription in a letter addressed to Takakusu Junjiro (1866‒1945), which is included in Naito's Complete Works. This paper describes the historical background of Naito's academic interests in historical materials and presents a deciphering of the 'Phags-pa inscription, an estimation of its value, and date of creation.}, pages = {101--112}, title = {パスパ文字の刻文をもつ須彌山研墨について}, volume = {47}, year = {2014} }
