The ''Gienjugô nikki'' is the diary of [[Gien]], also known as Jugô, the 80th abbot of [[Sanbo-in|Sanbô-in]], a branch of the temple of [[Daigo-ji]] in [[Fushimi]]. Gien recorded events of the years [[1596]] to [[1626]] in 62 volumes.

Some of the events described include the reconstruction of the main ''[[garan]]'' (central arrangement of buildings) at Daigo-ji, the revival of certain prayers and austerities practiced by the monks, and the compilation of the history of the temple. It also contains valuable mentions of the temple's interactions with, and other events pertaining to, figures such as [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]], [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]], and [[Toyotomi Hideyori]], as well as serving as a valuable source for both political (secular) and Buddhist history otherwise.

The text has been published as part of the ''Shiryô henshû'' series. The original manuscripts are still held by Sanbô-in, and have been designated an [[Important Cultural Property]].
