This historical document demonstrates the actual procedures carried out, as established by the Department of State decree dated September 9, 871, for conferring the position of ajari of Enryaku-ji Temple to Henjo, a Tendai monk and one of the Rokkasen (six poetry immortals). The three documents are compiled into one volume, with the first and second documents being petitions from 873 recommending Henjo as a suitable candidate for ajari of the Shingon Sect and requesting the Imperial Court's approval. The first document includes signatures of Enchin, the head of Enryaku-ji Temple, the three monastic leaders of the temple, and other monks. The third document is a draft of the Department of State decree issued in response to Enchin's petition. At the time, Henjo was 58 years old and had been ordained for 18 years.
