The paper is mainly intended to make clear the faith of Jokei, a Buddhist priest of the Japanese Hosso sect, in Prince Shotoku. It is necessary at first to decide the authorship of the three works preserved in the Taikyohyakuren-sho. If these works were really written by Jokei, following his view of the prince as the incarnated goddess of mercy, we could verify his strong faith that the life of the prince is likened to Buddha. Jokei again accepts the prince as being one who contributed to the prosperity of the Hosso sect.
