| 摘要 | At the bottom of a thirteenth-century painting, a large cauldron cracks into pieces. As water streams through the fissures and douses flames below, lotus flowers bloom from within the ruptured vessel, three bearing newborn babies. This image plays a critical role in a narrative network composed throughout fifteen hanging scrolls that illustrate the six realms of transmigration (rokudō). The skillful brushwork, venerability, and fine condition of this scroll set, entitled Rokudō-e (in the collection of the temple Shōjuraigōji, Shiga prefecture), make it a landmark in the history of Japanese painting. Moreover, multiple copies brought its pictorial details into wide circulation; passages conceived or assembled in the Rokudō-e are clearly evident in many later paintings, even in works that adhere to different genres. Variations on the cauldron-lotus-baby motif appear in a few other thirteenth-century paintings, and in numerous subsequent medieval and early-modern images. While we cannot definitively ascertain that the motifs dissemination originated with the Shōjuraigōji scroll set, the Rokudō-e contains one of the oldest surviving examples and influenced generations of painters. |
