A Japanese sumi ink calligraphy Buddhist mandala mounted as a paper hanging scroll known as Kakejiku or sometimes Moji mandala. … more A Japanese sumi ink calligraphy Buddhist mandala mounted as a paper hanging scroll known as Kakejiku or sometimes Moji mandala. Termed as gohonzon in Japanese, it is a venerated object within Nichiren Buddhism (Hokkeshu; lotus sect). The originally concept was developed by the 13th century Buddhist priest Nichiren to guide the energy of the devotional chanting to the correct direction. The hanging scroll has a prototype design and features stylized Kanji writing of the Buddhist mantra with overflowing and interlacing fashion. It was often made for a specific person and sometimes on a specific occasion (known as Joju gohonzon) for the prays to be answered. Traditionally, the scroll is hanging as part of the accouterment of the shrine installation.
The gohonzon on offer is a Jujo scroll with dedication inscription on the left and date on the right, forming part of the elaborate graphic composition. It was dated to Meiji 29th year (1896). The paper was bordered a graphic paper with chevron pattern. which was also used as two vertical decoration ribbons. A reddish paper was then used as the background mount. Considering that the scroll was dated to 1897, the current mount is likely original based on its condition.
When fully opened, the scroll measures 20" w x 49" h x 0.75"d. The size of the original ink mandala is 14.5" w. x 21" h. It is also inscribed as the dedicated deity and temple on the back of the scroll. less
