从宗教和科学的角度分析“星幡”（“星星幡”或“北斗星幡”）的创作特点，找出决定其创作的主要因素。我检查了各种现有的“星-”。由于了解“Chu-son”（位于中心的图像）的特殊性和其他元素的作用是使观点清晰的前提，因此拍摄单个图像是必不可少的。在某些宗教限制下，不允许检查或拍摄几幅壁画和其他重要作品的照片，通过“星佐”省查看的信息量有限。然而，本研究的相当大的成就，其中之一是插入在研究报告中，是原始的照片数据库，这是在镰仓时代之前的一些“星-”，包括“楚河”“北斗七星”“九曜”“十二星座”“二十八星宿”或基本元素的个人照片。因此，数据库提供了大量的信息，每一个元素出现在'Hoshi-Chena'根据分析到目前为止，找到每个图像的图像特征，必须有某种形式的交换之间的Singon sect和Tendai sect。继续进一步分析每个照片数据是为了阐明理解的主要因素组成'Hoshi-Chena'

To analyze distinctive features in composing ‘Hoshi-mandara'(‘Star mandara' or ‘Mandara of the Great Dipper') from religious and scientific point of view and find chief factor to decide its compose. I examined various existing ‘Hoshi-mandaras'. As understanding the peculiarity of ‘Chu-son'(the image which stays at the center of mandara) and roles of other elements is premise to make the point clear, taking photos of individual images was essential. Permission to examine or take photos of several mandaras and other important works being not given under some religious restrictions, the amount of information to look through the province of ‘Hoshi-mandara' was limited. Nevertheless, considerable achievement of this study, one of which is inserted in the report of study, is that the original photo-database was made up, which of some ‘Hoshi-mandaras' before Kamakura period, including individual photos of ‘Chu-son' ‘the Great Dipper' ‘the Nine Luminaries' ‘the Twelve Constellations of the Zodiac' ‘the Twenty-eight Stellar Mansions' or the basic elements. Thus the database gives a lot of information about each element which appears on ‘Hoshi-mandara' According to the analysis so far to find iconographic features of each image, there must be some kinds of interchange between Singon sect and Tendai sect. To continue further analysis of each photo datum is to shed light on understanding principal factors to compose ‘Hoshi-mandara'
