Abstract
This chapter discusses the tenjukoku tapestry of the Suiko court with Ōfube's mass millennial cult. However, a surprisingly deep and broad set of connections emerges. Thematically, both cult and tapestry also highlight the symbol of the tachibana, and both indicate a focus on the world of life beyond death. Perhaps most important of all, both the millennial cult and tapestry inscription, are explicitly connected with the Hata kinship group and Yamashiro Province, an early center of Shōtoku worship. This chapter examines these connections through a survey of a broad range of immigrant deities and ancestors of the Shōtoku cult's earliest adherents. These figures provide essential clues for understanding both the development of early Pure Land belief in the Japanese islands and the contemporaneous rise of millennial movements centered on the tokoyo deity.
