A citation to the Gohonzon Shu, a specialist catalogue project cataloguing Nichiren's surviving autographed mandalas, cross-referenced here across two independently maintained specialist sites (Eagle Peak Blog and Gohonzonshu Notes and Details) that both describe this specific mandala consistently. Its strength is specificity: named custodian, inscription date and physical measurements agree across independent presentations. Its limit is honestly stated: this is specialist enthusiast and scholarly-adjacent cataloguing rather than a museum, temple or university press record, and no institutional catalogue entry from Hota Myohonji itself could be located.
