This study examined the belief in putting Buddhist prints into the internal space of sculptures by making use of narratives in China and Japan. And paid attention specially to sculputures of Jizo Bosatsu, examined Jizo Bosatsu Ogenki in Northern Song, which was an early record about putting many Jizo images into the sculputure. Besides, examined probabillity that Jizo images told in Jizo Bosatsu Ogenki were recognized as prints in Japan, and that the belief of Northern Song was the ideological source of putting prints into sculputures from Heian to kamakura period. And recognized that Jizo sculptures which had prints in them expressed the state of being many aler egos, by looking at sculputures of groups of one thousand Jizo and descriptions of sutras.
