Sacred Names of Shinto Deities and the "Oracles of the Three Shrines" 1805 Mokujiki Shnin The term mingei, generally translated as “folk art,” is often applied to the works of Mokujiki Shnin, an itinerant priest and amateur artist who sculpted rough-hewn Buddhist deities and gods of good fortune. However, he was also a calligrapher, and his brush writing exhibits the same energy and heartfelt piety that appear in his sculptural works. Here, he inscribed the names of Shinto kami regarded as local manifestations of Buddhas and bodhisattvas, followed by the “Oracles of the Three Shrines” (Sansha takusen). The scroll is an example of calligraphic works that became devotional objects for people unable to travel to the great Shinto shrines of Ise, in Mie Prefecture; Iwashimizu Hachimang, in Kyoto; and Kasuga, in Nara.. Sacred Names of Shinto Deities and the "Oracles of the Three Shrines". Mokujiki Shnin (Japanese, 1718-1810). Japan. 1805. Hanging scroll; ink on paper. Edo period (1615-18
