[Sanno Mandala] A Suikei Mandala depicting the gods and Buddhas and shrine buildings of Hiyoshi Sanno Shrine (Hiyoshi Taisha) in Sakamoto, Otsu City. Sanno Shrine was established with Mt. Hachioji, which is a sacred mountain, as its back, and centered around the seven shrines of Higashi Omiya Three Shrines and Nishi Omiya Four Shrines, but it has always prospered under the influence of Eizan because it was worshiped as the guardian of Enryakuji Temple. Ta. The Sanno Mandala was requested by Eizan's religious society, and was worshiped as the guardian principal image at Yamashita Satobo and Sanno Rokuko. As with Kasuga and Kumano, there are many different styles, including those depicting the local Buddha, those depicting the Suijen deity, shrine views with Mt. Shintai in the background, and those focusing on individual shrine buildings. The relics have been handed down from the Kamakura period, but in the literature, the article ``Gyokuyo'' dated December 2, 1184 states that ``Illustrated picture of the true identity of Hiyoshi Shrine'', so in the late Heian period it was transferred to the mainland. The existence of Buddhist mandalas is known. Among the relics, there is a book of Seigenji Temple that lists nine statues of authentic Buddhas, which corresponds to the literature. Even in the case of Miya Mandala, as in the Yamato Bunkakan book, there is a strong awareness of Honji Buddhism, so Sanno Mandala started from Honji Buddhism Mandala and expanded into various types while being influenced by forms such as Kasuga and Kumano. You might also say that.
