Note 1 — THE STORY OF O-TEI

The Buddhist term zokumyō (“profane name”) signifies the personal name, borne during life, in contradistinction to the kaimyō (“sila-name”) or homyō (“Law-name”) given after death,—religious posthumous appellations inscribed upon the tomb, and upon the mortuary tablet in the parish-temple.—For some account of these, see my paper entitled, “The Literature of the Dead,” in Exotics and Retrospectives.
