Gōhō 杲寶 (1306–1362) — Kamakura-Nanbokuchō-period Japanese Shingon scholar of Tō-ji 東寺, one of the Three Treasures of Tō-ji (東寺三寶) along with Raihō 賴寶 and Kenpō 賢寶 — the trio of Shingon scholastic masters who systematised the medieval Tō-ji doctrinal tradition. They produced the principal medieval scholastic edition of Yīxíng’s Dàrìjīng shū — the Yǎnào shāo 演奧鈔 (Jp. Enʼō-shō) in 56 fascicles — corrected and supplemented the Dàlèyuàn Xìnrì 大樂院信日’s earlier 30-fascicle Dàrìjīng shū kānwén 大日經疏勘文, and were collectively the scholarly culmination of the medieval Tō-ji exegetical tradition.
His extant works in the Buddhist canon include:
- Sānshí-juàn jiào-wáng jīng wén cìdì 三十卷教王經文次第 (KR6j0050, T61n2226) — a sequence-of-passages reference to the 30-fascicle Sarvatathāgatatattvasaṃgraha-tantra (KR6j0049, T882).
- Déyī wèijué dáshì 徳一未決答釋 (KR6t0166, T77n2460) — Shingon scholastic replies to the Hossō master Tokuitsu’s Míjué objections.
- Yǎnào shāo 演奧鈔 (with Raihō and Kenpō, 56 fascicles).
His scholarship represents the medieval Tō-ji systematisation of the Shingon scholastic tradition: organising the foundational Tang Esoteric translations, the Heian Kūkai exegesis, and the post-Kūkai Heian-Kamakura commentaries into a coherent doctrinal-philological apparatus.
