This dissertation examines non-doctrinal writings by Kukai (774-835), the systemizer of esoteric Buddhism in Japan. Most prior scholarship on Kukai attends to either theological or biographical issues. Despite his reputation as a talented poet and calligrapher, no Englishlanguage work to date focuses solely on his accomplishments in these fields. This study aims to fill this lacuna, if even just partially, by providing scholarly translation and analysis of selected poems, letters, monuments and epitaphs, that appear in the Shoryoshu, an anthology compiled by Kukai's disciple Shinzei (800-860).

520 $a This dissertation examines non-doctrinal writings by Kukai (774-835), the systemizer of esoteric Buddhism in Japan. Most prior scholarship on Kukai attends to either theological or biographical issues. Despite his reputation as a talented poet and calligrapher, no Englishlanguage work to date focuses solely on his accomplishments in these fields.

520 $a Modern Japanese cultural history views Kukai as a canonical hero, who braved stormy seas to travel to China and learn the secrets of the Mahavairocana sutra. The seemingly secure position he occupies in modern memory elides his unconventional life, education, and cultural activity. While Emperor Saga and his kanshi coterie admired Kukai's unique talents, the idiosyncrasies of his background and style removed him from the mainstream of Heiankyo poetic life.
520 $a This study complicates conventional views on Kukai, reinterpreting him as a Chinese, not kanshi poet, by demonstrating his facility in poetic genres ignored by the Heiankyo intelligentsia. Although several of Kukai's poems were included in one of the ninth-century kanshi anthologies, his views on the superiority of Sanskrit suggest he did not share the prevailing sinocentric stance on monjo keikoku (statecraft through writing). Finally, the efforts by Shinzei to anthologize his works for the benefit of a wider readership indicate that Kukai's status as a cultural figure was not uncontested during his lifetime.
