A note for the reader: I'm not affiliated in any way with the IOA of Bonn (Germany). This page stands as a simple link to the library named after the late scholar and bibliophile P. Pianarosa (1949-2010) whose help and inspiration were invaluable in my life and my asiatic studies.

Kujikiri is a rather well known magical device in shugendō and in japanese military texts since XVI century.
Its roots lie in daoist texts transmitted to japan at various times (especially around XIII c.) albeit none of them show a strict affinity with the expanded rituals known in japan, which add buddhist elements in the form of "goshinpō" found in mikkyō text.
