Research Abstract

About the famous Kamakura painting Amida-Nijuugobosatsu-raigouzu owned by Chion'in, I corrected the mistaken understanding so far. And I could get the correct understanding about three points behind. 1 This painting has no relation with Jodo-shu sect.2 In this painting we can look only Spring landscape. 3 This painting is just a portrait representing by Raigouzu style.
