Jōgū Shōtoku Hōō Teisetsu

While some parts seem to have been written by the early eighth century, the complete manuscript dates from around 1050.

The first section lists Shōtoku's genealogy, including his mother and father, wife, and children.

These include his Buddhist contributions such as his sutras as well as the enactment of the Twelve Level Cap and Rank System.

Included is the years of their reigns, death, and tomb information.

The reverse side of the scroll contains details about Soga no Umako and the construction of the Yamada-dera and Han'nya-ji temples.
