Description
Formerly in possession of Enman-in Temple, these diagrams show Onjô-ji Temple and its surroundings in twelve sections. They were probably a folding screen originally. From the right, the North, Central, and South Buildings form the right wing of the screen, and Nyoiji Temple and the three <i>besshos</i> (residences of training monks) form the leftwing. These diagrams look almost the same as the late-Kamakura period diagrams housed in Onjô-ji Temple, and are clearly based upon them. The depictions of trees and golden clouds show the characteristics of the Kanô school of painting active in the Muromachi and Edo periods.
