The gentle slope to the roof of this jeweled pagoda-shaped sutra container offers a sense of the beauty of late-Heian material culture. The Buddha images are likely the historical Buddha Śākyamuni and Prabhūtaratna Buddha. In the Lotus Sutra (Skt. Saddharmapuṇḍarīkasūtra; Ch. Fahua jing; J. Hoke kyō), Prabhūtaratna invited Śākyamuni to join him in the Jeweled Pagoda in which he had arrived to verify the teachings of the Lotus Sutra. Two buddhas enshrined together often symbolize this scriptural episode.
