Size: Shakugo (approx. 53 x 181 cm) (Ise size notation: Shakuhachi) Paper: Silk; Mounting: White silk Storage box: Cedar box Since ancient times, the sacred name of Amaterasu Omikami has been hung in the tokonoma alcove on celebrations, auspicious occasions, and New Year's, as well as on a regular basis. This is a sign of gratitude to the divine virtue of Amaterasu Omikami, the Imperial Ancestor, who "sheds her light (blessings) on all things." The tokonoma is a place of purification in the home and a place of the heart. Hanging the sacred name of Amaterasu Omikami there will help to build a happy home filled with smiles. The sacred name always brings to mind the teachings of the Grand Shrine: "Make use of everything, reexamine, reconsider, revise, and forgive with a kind heart." It is imbued with prayers and wishes for the safety of the home, the prosperity of one's occupation, the development of one's hometown, and ultimately the prosperity and peace of the nation. Arakida Moriaki is a descendant of Amanomitoori-no-Mikoto, who also appears in the Nihon Shoki, and a former priest of the prestigious Ise Grand Shrine. He holds the selected position of being able to write the divine titles, and he pours his heart and soul into writing them, imbued with divine virtue, so there is no end to the number of people from all over the country who wish to receive them. The Arakida clan was the hereditary clan of the Negi (negi) of Ise Grand Shrine (Inner Shrine of Ise Grand Shrine) until the end of the Edo period. It's a tribe.
