The kirigami were esoteric documents of the Sōtō school in medieval Japan which

> ...reflect a creative use of traditional kōan records integrated with popular religious themes such as devotion to local gods and the exorcism of demonic spirits."[1]

For instance,

> Various kirigami present the deity of Hakusan as a form of Izanagi, of Kannon, or a dragon-king."[2]

Some kirigami

> ...describe talismans that women had to carry or swallow to purify themselves from blood defilement when they attended religious ceremonies."[3]

Kirigami were also

> ...'notes' or 'memos' transmitted from master to disciple together with oral or esoteric teachings; they included instructions in the various functions of a temple priest, including memorial services and necrologies, both of which were conducted with the explicit aim of perpetuating social discrimination."[4]

Bernard Faure writes that the kirigami were

> ...documents whose diagrammatic aspect and ritual function bring to mind the prophetic scriptures (chanwei) of Confucian imperial ideology and Daoist talismans studied by Anna Seidel.[5]

Steven Heine writes that,

> ...[the] tradition of using kirigami was widespread in diverse medieval apprenticeship programs."[6]
