| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The illustrations in these works construct a world of the dead complete with Confucian ancestral spirits, and deities from Daoism as well as from Buddhism, and personify all manner of existence, mountains and rivers, flora and fauna. These ritual texts record details about the relationship between the deity Kishimojin and the Buddha, as well as about seji offerings for Kishimojin. In jiebo-tu, which depicts scenes from setsuwa tales, the parivara of water, earth, and ether, as well as various flora and fauna, are presented as personified figures. This closely resembles the concept of somoku kokudo shikkai jobutsu depicted in Muromachi arts, indicating influences, particularly as regards the personification of flora. Moreover, various motifs depicted in the shuiluzhai-tu and jiebo-tu, and which later appear in Japan as visualized and personified flora, bear close resemblances to a variant of the illustrated handscroll Hyakki yagyo emaki.
