Abstract The English names of the Shösö-in treasures are translations of the current Japanese names, which in turn reflect the original names assigned to objects in the Todaiji kenmotsu cho (Record of Donation to Todaiji) and the Shosö-in gyobutsu mokuroku (Catalogue of Treasured Objects in the Shoso-in). In many cases the translations have been adapted to English-language conventions or altered for the sake of clarity, but they retain the same information about media, technique and design as the Japanese object names
