Essai (English spelling)

Japanese: エッサイ(英語表記)Essai
Essai (English spelling)
A figure from the Old Testament. Son of Obed, father of David. Originally meaning "rich." Jesse was the first person in the genealogy of Christ, and from this the House of David was called "the stump of Jesse" (Isaiah 11:1 in the Vulgate), and the future Messiah (i.e. Christ) who would come from the House of David was called "the shoot of Jesse" (ibid. and Romans 15:12). The theme of the genealogy of Christ originating from Jesse, depicted as a tree and portrait, was used in window paintings for church decoration from the 12th to 16th centuries, and is called the "window of Jesse."
