Mandala of Kasuga Shrine

Mandala of Kasuga Shrine. Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Image: 39 7/16 × 15 5/8 in. (100.2 × 39.7 cm) Overall with mounting: 72 1/4 × 21 5/8 in. (183.5 × 55 cm) Overall with knobs: 72 1/4 × 23 11/16 in. (183.5 × 60.2 cm). Date: early 14th century. Combining the conceptual framework of the Buddhist mandala with elements of traditional Japanese painting, artists produced representations of shrine precincts in this unique genre of painting known as "shrine mandala" (miya mandara). This example of a Kasuga Shrine mandala depicts the sprawling complex at the foot of Mount Mikasa from a bird's-eye perspective, inviting the viewer to embark on a virtual pilgrimage to the site and thereby gain the favor of Kasuga's deities. The Buddhist avatars of the five Kasuga deities appear at the top of the scroll. From right to left they are: Eleven-headed Kannon (Juichimen Kannon), Kannon of the Unfailing Noose (Fukukensaku Kannon), the Medicine Buddha (Yakushi), the bodhisattva Jizo, and another Eleven-headed Kannon.
