Lotus Sutra / late 12th century/ Japanese

Opening with an illustration, this handscroll of the Lotus Sutra was part of a larger body of work copied or commissioned by members of the court as a means to salvation. The indigo color stands for the mineral lapis lazuli, which, like gold and silver, is part of the seven treasures of Buddhism. Illuminated sutras are believed to have been dedicated by the Fujiwara clan to Chusonji Temple in the northeast region of Japan.

Handscroll; gold and silver on indigo dyed paper, 3940 15/16 × 9 ¾ in. (10010 × 24.8 cm); width with knobs: 11 ½ in. (29.2 cm)
