Mie Heian Period
794 – 1185
Discover the National Treasure artifacts from the sutra mounds at Kyōgamine, Mount Asakuma in Ise, Japan. Line-engraved Amida mirrors, bronze sutra tubes, and Heian-period scrolls reveal the hidden Buddhist devotion of Shinto shrine priests.
At the Grand Shrine of Ise, this scroll is volume 22 of the Yupian, a Chinese dictionary lost in China. Copied in 904, its back bears an Ise priesthood register.
