[About the Exhibition] * This exhibition was held to commemorate the 1100th anniversary of the death of Sugawara no Michizane (845–903), a scholar and politician of the Heian period, who was later worshipped as "Tenjin." Michizane was demoted to Dazaifu due to the slander of Fujiwara no Tokihira, where he ended his turbulent life. After his death, natural disasters and epidemics occurred one after another, and people feared the vengeful spirit of Michizane and enshrined his spirit as Tenman Tenjin in Kitano to appease it. * "Tenjin" was originally a god of thunder, but after Michizane was deified, he became widely worshipped throughout the country as the "God of Learning," the "God of Calligraphy and Poetry," and the "God of Performing Arts." This exhibition was a large-scale project that brought together approximately 250 valuable works related to Tenjin worship from Tenmangu shrines, museums in Japan and abroad, and temples and shrines nationwide. * It was a valuable exhibition that comprehensively introduced the art and cultural significance of Tenjin worship, including divine statues and treasures that are usually kept in shrine storehouses and rarely shown to the public, as well as works that had returned from overseas. [Contents of the Catalog] * The life and history of faith of Michizane * Explanations of masterpieces of Tenjin Engi-e (Illustrated Biography of Tenjin) * Detailed illustrations of divine statues and treasures handed down in Tenmangu shrines and temples * A wide variety of materials, including crafts, calligraphy, and paintings * Essays and commentary on works by researchers * All pages in color, a luxurious and thick specification ※ It is a valuable composition as an academic material, and is also recommended for researchers of art history and Japanese history, and those interested in Shinto culture.
