Sankibo Buddhist Book Store
Sankibo Buddhist Book Store is a Tokyo-based publisher and seller specializing in Buddhist texts and scholarly materials, particularly classical works in Sanskrit, Japanese, and Chinese. It is known for publishing and distributing important editions of Buddhist scripture and commentaries, such as the Sphuṭārthā Abhidharmakośavyākhyā by Yaśomitra (edited by Unrai Wogihara) and the Bodhisattvabhūmi, part of the Yogācārabhūmi, both key texts for Buddhist studies scholars.
Sankibo's publications, dating back to at least the early 20th century, are highly regarded in academic circles for their philological accuracy and often serve as authoritative reference editions for researchers studying Mahayana and Indian Buddhist philosophy. The store and publisher have played a significant role in making both Japanese and international Buddhist scholarship accessible through detailed editions, reprints, and dictionaries focused on Buddhist terminology.
