Summary

Description
Deutsch: MOK, Museum für Ostasiatische Kunst, Köln. A09,11; Ausstellung Horizonte. Bishamon in seiner ursprünglichen Gestalt
Bishamon, einer der Vier Himmlischen Wächterkönige (shitenno) wurde als Gemahl von Kichijoten, der Göttin des Reichtums interpretiert. Die Querrollen schildern die Liebesgeschichte zwischen den ursprünglichen Existenzen (honji) der beiden, nämlich des 'Goldenen Prinzen' und der 'Himmlischen Juwelenprinzessin'. Die ausgewählte Szene schildert die wundersame Geburt der Prinzessin. Das Neugeborene berührt ein silberner Strahl. Er entspringt wie die Trias des Amida-Buddha einem in den Wolken schwebenden Drachen.
Die zwei Rollen in Köln sind die älteste erhaltene Version dieser illustrierten Legende: Tusche, Farben, Gold und Silber auf Papier.
English: MOK, Cologne. Bishamon in his original form
Bishamonten, one of the Four Heavenly Kings (Shitenno) was interpreted as the husband of Kichijoten, goddess of fortune. The scrolls illustrate the love story of the former existences (honji) od the two deities, the 'Golden Prince' and the 'Heavenly Jewel Princess'. The scene illustrates the miraculous birth of the princess. A silvery beam touches the child, emanating from a dragon who, like the triad with Amida-Buddha, descends from the clouds.
