Dear Kate,

> Which sutras are used by Japanese Shingon?

The main ones are:
1.    Mahavairocana-abhisambodhi-sutra [translated & published by me if 
you're interested]
2.    Sarva-tathagata-tattva-samgraha-sutra [translated but not yet 
published by me]
3.    150 Prajnaparamita-sutra
4.    Susuddhikara-tantra [translated by me but not yet published, version 
available by Giebel in BDK series]

These should be the same as in Chen-yen

Best wishes,
Stephen Hodge


PS:  I was a Shingon monk for a while in Japan
