Each piece was hand-painted by Moriaki Araki and lovingly turned into a hanging scroll at the foot of Ise Shrine. Size: 13 shaku (approx. 45.5 x 173 cm) (13 shaku in Ise size notation) Main paper: Paper; Cover: Cotton satin Storage box: Paulownia wood box The divine name of "Amaterasu Omikami" has been hung on the tokonoma alcove since ancient times, not only on celebrations, happy occasions, and New Year's, but also on a regular basis. This is an expression of gratitude to the divine virtue of the Imperial Ancestor God Amaterasu Omikami, who "blows her light (blessings) on everything." The tokonoma is a place for washing in the home and a place of the heart. Hanging the divine name of Amaterasu Omikami there will help to build a bright home full of smiles. The divine name always brings to mind the teachings of the shrine, "Make use of everything, review, listen again, decree again, and forgive with a kind heart," and is filled with prayers and wishes for the safety of the home, prosperity of one's livelihood, development of one's hometown, and ultimately the prosperity and peace of the country. Arakida Moriaki is a descendant of Amanomito no Mikoto, who appears in the Nihon Shoki, and a former priest at the prestigious Ise Grand Shrine. He holds the selected position of being able to handwrite the divine titles, and as these are full of divine virtue and are written with all his heart and soul, there is no end to those who wish to be bestowed with them from all over the country. The Arakida clan was the hereditary clan of the Negi (chief priest) of Ise Grand Shrine (Inner Shrine of Ise Grand Shrine) until the end of the Edo period. We are a tribe.
