Religious function of Engi-Emaki

本研究的目的是考虑室町时期的几幅画卷（解释某一宗教来源的历史）如何履行其宗教功能。我指出Shakado缘起Enaki取得紧密联系与释迦牟尼的塑像Seiryo-ji庙和用来解释历史的释迦牟尼的塑像在仪式上的视图。这是我研究的第一个结果。此外，我还考虑了日本最古老的木造，即重山木造，以研究室町时代之前木造的宗教功能。根据对板条和绘画的分析结果，可以确定，新贵山Engi是为了在新贵山的一个寺庙“草古松寺”中传播崇拜而制作的。

The purpose of this research is to consider that how the several engi-emaki(scroll painting which explains the history of indicating a certain religious source) in Muromachi period fulfill their religious function.I pointed out that Shakado Engi Enaki was made in the close connection with the Statue of Sakyamuni at Seiryo-ji temple and used to explain the history of that Statue of Sakyamuni at the ceremony of placing it on view. This is the first result of my research.Also I Consider about Shigisan Engi Emaki, which is the oldest engi-emaki in japan, for the purpose of investigating of the religious functions of engi-emaki before the Muromachi period. As the outcome of making an analysis of the kotobagaki and painting, it became clear that Shigisan Engi was made to use for the propagation of worship at a temple, Chogosonshi-ji at Mt. Shigi.
