"Honen Shonin Eden" of both Chionin Temple in Kyoto and Okuin of Taima-dera Temples in Nara (deepest located temple house of Taima-dera Temple) have the largest number of scrolls of an emakimono work, namely 'forty-eight,' which number is compared to 'forty-eight vows' of Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Tathagata). |
1つの作品でもっとも巻数が多いのは京都・知恩院と奈良・当麻寺奥院の『法然上人絵伝』で、いずれも全48巻の大作である(「48」という数字は阿弥陀如来の「四十八願」にちなんだもの)。 |
