It has been often stated that incense and Buddhism were simultaneously introduced in Japan. Therefore, Buddhism and odors are inseparable. Shōtoku-Taishi has been considered as the father of the prosperity of Buddhism in Japan, and Japanese people have worshiped him as a Buddhism saint (Bodhisattva). In view of these facts, it is inevitable that Shōtoku-Taishi has been linked with odors for a long time. I concretely examine the manner in which the image of Shōtoku-Taishi had been linked with odors in the Taishi-den texts of the Nara and Heian eras in Japan. Moreover, I clarify how Shōtoku-Taishi and odors were related to the religious thoughts prevailing at that time.
