What is a Wayside Shrine?
• A wayside shrine, is often a
religious item, usually in
some sort of small shelter,
placed by a road or
pathway.
• They often commemorate a
specific incident near the
place (either a death in an
accident or an escape from
harm) – but others mark an
important object along the
road or pathway.

The History of Rubbing
•
•
•
•
Rubbing is one of the oldest
forms of printmaking.
Before the camera was
invented, Japanese fishermen
would make rubbings of the
fish they caught in order to
record they type and size of
the fish.
Today fishermen continue the
centuries-old practice of using
rubbings, but now it has
evolved into an art form.
This type of rubbing is called
Gyotaku. Gyotaku combines
two Japanese words, "gyo,"
meaning fish, and "taku,"
meaning rubbing.

How Artists Use Rubbings
•To help his flow of
imagery from his
unconscious mind,
Ernst used frottage
(the French word for
rubbings).

Max Ernest , German Painter
1891-1976
Dada and Surrealist
Movement
•He said he was
inspired by grain in
planks of wooden
flooring; the patterns
in the grain
suggested strange
images to him.
•He captured these
by laying sheets of
paper on the floor
and then rubbing
over them with a soft
pencil.

How to Make a Wayside Shrine Rubbing
• Rubbings are made by:
– carefully pressing paper
onto the textured surface
– Rubbing a medium (like a
crayon or charcoal stick)
over the paper
• A carefully made rubbing
provides an accurate, fullscale facsimile of the surface
reproduced.
• The textured surface of the
shrine boxes are woodcuts
made by artist and MOFAC
Curator, Mollie Doctrow.
• The end product, therefore,
cannot be considered an
original print but rather an
accurate record Doctrow’s
woodcut.
