Faith in the Lotus Sutra flowered during the Heian period(794–1185). Copying sutras and furthermore making these copies beautiful by using decorated paper was a prevalent expression of this faith at the time. Here, silver margin lines were drawn and birds, butterflies, and grasses were rendered in gold and silver ink at the top and bottom.
