Outline of Final Research Achievements	This study focuses on a critical analysis of the Shinkon Ketsugisho, a recently discovered text of the Daruma sect. Over a period of three years,we conducted a total of nineteen study workshops.One of the most important outcomes of this collaborative research was the successful completion of a critical reading and the publication of an annotated translation of the Shinkon Ketsugisho. These results enabled us to delve deeper into the intellectual thoughts of Butchibo Kakuan. Moreover,by comparing the text with the collections at Kanazawa Bunko and the National Institute of Japanese Literature, we uncovered the historical value of the material. Consequently, numerous related studies were developed. Notably,we revealed detailed insights into Kakuan's life and shed light on the traces of Daikatsu Ryoshin,who left Kakuan's group to join the school of Eisai. These research findings will make a significant contribution to future studies on Japanese Zen Buddhism.
