| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project clarified how images common to both temple legends and Buddhist didactic narratives were transmitted through medieval times. For example, I traced how Kuso-zu (Illustrations of the Nine Stages, derived from the Mo-ho chih-kuan 摩訶止観), were tied to not only religious texts, but also works of literature such as poems and narratives, in which they were interpreted in various ways. I also examined images of illnesses and other disorders found in the Lotus Sutra 法華経 and the Shobonenjokyo; 正法念処経 (Sutra of Meditation on the True Law). As a result of my research, I proposed a new reading of scrolls such as the Illustrated Scroll of Illnesses and the Illustrated Scroll of the Legends of Kokawa dera that emphasized their representations of bad karma through such images of disease. Portions of this research have been made public in publications such as ”Kusozu wo yomu” KADOKAWA, 2015, and “Yamai no soshi” Chuokoron bijutsu shuppan, 2017.
