Layer 1: Wakasugi Archive as an Onmyōdō Ritual Corpus

The Kyoto archive describes the broader Wakasugi holdings as including:

  • medieval Tsuchimikado/Abe documents;
  • ritual manuals;
  • petitions;
  • calendrical records;
  • astronomical diaries;
  • estate documents;
  • later Tsuchimikado institutional material.

The archive notes more than 700 Tsuchimikado-related items, including numerous ritual petitions and records.

The Wakasugi collection should now become a core primary-source spine for the Onmyōdō volume rather than an occasional citation.
