附法狀 俊●（上艾-乂+下仍）
日本
此書乃是日本高僧俊●（上艾-乂+下仍）寫與嗣法弟子首座心海阿闍梨之附法狀，書於鎌倉嘉祿三年（1227）。一九五二年指定為日本國寶。
所謂附法狀，即是老師傳法予弟子的證明，所以文中不但具述心海勉力修持的情狀，也讚許其：「研覈宗旨，不知幾許哉」。
此書字形長、用筆輕，但提按揮運之間，不見飛白，顯示對於使轉用筆的精心控制。其風格主要從黃庭堅而來，但不斤斤於字架的穩定，反而多見隨著筆勢舒放的結字，呈現出跨越謹嚴藩籬的淡然。
俊●（上艾-乂+下仍）字不可棄，號我禪房，肥後國（今日本熊本）人，諡號大興正法國師，通稱月輪大師。因有感當時大小律範，未盡其要，遂於鎌倉正治元年（1199）入宋求法。歸國後致力宣揚律學，開創京都泉涌寺。
參考釋文：當寺首座心海闍梨於我歸朝／初間聞名訪道迢迢遠來求／我心要將超死生示之以一／乘圓頓之道於元具汝心／之本性心海一嘗此甘露心／開意解已來跋涉海山數／千里之艱辛且忘賊盜潦／水等之厄難或逐年來或／隔年來輕生重法研覈宗旨／不知幾許哉
