For the tea-ceremony in Japan see Okakura's Book of Tea (Foulis, 1919). The "military" Zen of Japan is well described by Nukariya Kaiten in his The Religion of the Samurai, 1913.
Most of this paper is derived from the section on Zen (Series II, Vol. 15, seq.) in the "Supplement to the Collection of Buddhist Scriptures," Dai Nihon Zoku Z Ky.
Much of the information with regard to the Rokutsji School is taken from the article by Mr. Saga to which I have already referred. For the Rokutsji ("Temple of the Six Penetrations") see Hsien Shun Lin-an Chih ("Topography of Hangchow, 1265-1275 A.D."), ch. 78, f. 9 recto.
I have also used Yamada's Zensh Jiten (Dictionary of Zen) and the Hekiganroku, edited by Syen, 1920.
