The Yoshikawa-family study demonstrates that the 1642 Dokujin ritual text contains phrases deliberately rewritten from Buddhist formulations into Onmyōdō language.

This is direct documentary evidence for active ritual adaptation.

For the full transcription:

  1. identify every Buddhist source phrase;
  2. place Yoshikawa/Dokujin wording beside it;
  3. mark lexical replacement;
  4. explain theological shift;
  5. determine whether ritual action also changed or only language.
