For those riding the Lake Biwa circuit, or just happen to be near Otsu, this fall there will be a great exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art, Shiga, in Otsu City.
The total seven-volume set of "Ishiyama-dera Engi Emaki," or a scroll painting of the legend of Ishiyama-dera Temple, will be put on display for the first time in October at the Museum of Modern Art, Shiga, in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture.
The seven-volume set of scrolls is made up of 33 scenes with pictures and notes. It measures roughly 110 meters in total length. Each of the scrolls was made in a different period, divided among the Kamakura, Muromachi and Edo Periods.
