Kanjō 觀靜 — Heian-period Japanese Shingon scholar-monk identified in the source text as “Japanese Tōzan meditation-monk” 日本東山坐禪沙門, an attribution that places him in the Higashiyama (Eastern Mountains) area of Kyoto in the Shingon scholastic tradition. Lifedates are not preserved in the canonical record; the conventional bracket on internal grounds is the mid-to-late Heian (11th–12th century), since his work cites the post-Kūkai Shingon doctrinal apparatus (六大, 三密, 五智, etc.) in its developed form.
His sole canonical work is the Kǒng-què jīng yīn-yì 孔雀經音義 (KR6j0168, T61n2244), a three-fascicle phonetic-and-lexical commentary on the Mahāmāyūrī-vidyārājñī-sūtra in Amoghavajra’s translation (Fómǔ dà Kǒng-què míng-wáng jīng 佛母大孔雀明王經, KR6j0167, T19n0982).
