Oyasama


Ofudesaki 14.25

Ofudesaki おふでさき (The Tip of the Writing Brush) is the title of one of Tenrikyo’s “Three Scriptures.” In a broad sense, the term may apply to all the poems that were physically written by Oyasama (Miki Nakayama). In a narrow sense, it refers to the 17-part manuscript that contains 1,711 waka poems preserved at Tenrikyo Church Headquarters that serves as the basis for the published version of the Scripture called the Ofudesaki.
