Buddhist Pilgrimage Scroll
This magnificent Buddhist Pilgrimage Scroll (Nōkyō) is rare visual testament to a completed Japanese sacred journey, most likely the famous Shikoku 88 Temple route. The scroll features a central painted image of Kōbō Daishi (Kūkai) surrounded by dozens of hand-stamped vermilion seals and black calligraphy, each collected directly from a different temple. The impressive rich gold and blue brocade silk mountings and ornate roller ends makes this a stunning, high-quality spiritual art piece.
These are highly sought after in the auctions in Japan
