Shigisan Engi Emaki

The Shigisan Engi Emaki is a set of three painted narrative handscrolls made in the Yamato-e style in the late Heian period, between roughly 1157 and 1180. Executed in paint and ink on paper and belonging to Chogosonshi-ji temple, the scrolls are kept at the Nara National Museum in Nara, Japan, and were designated a National Treasure of Japan in 1951. They tell three miraculous legends associated with the Buddhist monk Myoren of Mount Shigi: a granary that flies through the air, the healing of Emperor Daigo, and the journey of Myoren's sister searching for her brother after twenty years apart. The scrolls are known for their lively outdoor scenes and dynamic depiction of movement.
