Literally, "container for the appropriate amount," another name for hatsu-u, the set of five eating bowls with wrapping cloth, wiping cloth, lap cloth, utensil bag with utensils, and lacquered paper place mat. The word ōryōki is used for the whole set or just for the largest bowl, and is much more commonly used today than the word hatsu-u (although Dōgen does not use the word ōryōki in "The Dharma for Taking Food"). In modern Sōtō practice, in Japan and the West, the traditional style of ōryōki is used only by priests, and a slightly simplified version with three bowls is used by laypeople.103n. 19 +

Literally, "wooden fish"; in Dōgen's time the name for the long, hollow, wooden, fish-shaped drum hanging in the outer hall. It is now called the hou, "fish drum." This is used during the meal ritual, struck by a long wooden pole. Mokugyo currently refers to a spherical, wooden drum used during chanting. It is struck by a wooden striker with a large, padded head. Often painted red, it has the stylized image of two fishes with dragon heads, together holding a round jewel in their mouths. This spherical mokugya was introduced to Japan in the seventeenth century by the Chinese monk Yinyuan, founder of the Japanese Ōbaku school. 86, 102n. 12 +
