This single scroll is from a set of the entire Buddhist canon (issaikyō) written in gold ink on dark blue paper. The set has been preserved at Jingo-ji temple in Kyoto, thus its name, “Jingoji-kyō.” This set was commissioned by Emperor Toba. The images on the frontispieces, in gold and silver ink, illustrate Śākyamuni, the historical Buddha, preaching the dharma.
