The Sanjō Wasan (三帖和讃) is a collection of three hymns written by Jōdo Shinshū founder Shinran. Alternative English titles have been given such as the "Three Eulogies"[1] and "Three Pure Land Poems."[2] It is designated a National Treasure.[3]

The text is comprised of the Jōdo Wasan (浄土和讃 Hymns of the Pure Land), Kōso Wasan (高僧和讃 Hymns of the Pure Land Masters) and Shōzōmatsu Wasan (正像末和讃 Hymns of the Dharma‐Ages).
