The Oracles of the Three Shrines

Windows on Japanese Religion

by Brian Bocking
Language: English
Release Date: December 16, 2013

This is a richly-illustrated study of 'The Oracles of the Three Shrines', the name given to a hanging scroll depicting three important Japanese shrine-deities and their respective oracle texts. The scroll has evolved continuously in Japan for 600 years, so different examples of it offer a series of 'windows' on developments in Japanese religious belief and practice.
