Description

Professor Ikumi Kaminishi of Art History & Architecture teaches with this facsimile of Shigisan-engi, a splendid reproduction of the 12th century scroll, which relates the miracles attributed to Myoren, a monk who lived on Mount Shigi, in Japan, during the 9th century. Among these legends is that of the Flying Storehouse: the monk’s alms bowl takes command of a frugal farmer’s granary, and whisks it off to the monastery, with astonished villagers in pursuit.
