Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō is a Japanese chant in Nichiren Buddhism, meaning 'Devotion to the Mystic Law of the Lotus Sutra' or 'Glory to the Dharma of the Lotus Sutra'. It is associated with the Lotus Sūtra and was publicly declared by Nichiren on April 28, 1253. The practice of prolonged chanting, referred to as Shōdai, aims to alleviate suffering, eradicate negative karma, and achieve awakening.

Literature comparison: A closely related piece was exhibited by the Institute of Ethnography of the MZM in 2009. An old illustration showing a similar figure is in Musee Guimet.
