Scene from The Illustrated Legends of Jin'oji Temple (Jin'oji engi emaki)

Scene from The Illustrated Legends of Jin'oji Temple (Jin'oji engi emaki). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Image: 13 1/2 × 21 15/16 in. (34.3 × 55.7 cm) Overall with mounting: 49 7/16 × 26 15/16 in. (125.5 × 68.5 cm) Overall with knobs: 49 7/16 × 29 1/16 in. (125.5 × 73.8 cm). Date: early 14th century. Jin'oji Temple is associated with the ascetic hermit monk En no Gyoja. Legend has it that he ordered a shikigami (a local deity represented as a small ghost) to guide the Korean deity Hosho Gongen (Korean: Boseung gwanhyeon) to Jin'oji. Here, Hosho Gongen appears as an armed guardian atop a pine tree, while one of the monk's servant-demons kneels before him in adoration. This fragment originally belonged to a set of illustrated scrolls recounting the history of the temple. The set was cut into sections that have since been remounted as hanging scrolls and dispersed among collections in Japan and America.
