| 摘要 | Many people are afraid of death, both their own and that of others. This is especially true of sudden deaths, which in Japan are said to create threatening ghosts, such as the spirit that formed after the premature demise of Sugawara no Michizane, the celebrated ninth-century scholar and statesman. Michizanes ghost took revenge on his adversaries, who had unjustly accused him of treason, and unleashed calamities on the then-capital city of Kyoto. To placate this wrathful spirit, the court posthumously absolved Michizane of all charges, reinstated him to his office, raised his rank, deified him as a kami (deity) with the title of Tenjin, and enshrined him at the Kitano Shrine in Kyoto. This paper examines an earlythirteenth century work, the illustrated Kitano Tenjin engt emaki, known as the Jōkyū version, which depicts Michizane as a wrathful spirit but does not explain how he came to be deified as Tenjin or how the Tenjin shrine was founded. Instead, it ends with an illustration of the rokudō or the six realms of existence. The rokudō creed is a pedagogical Buddhist concept that focuses on the living rather than goryō (angry spirits of aristocrats) or cults of the dead. Based on a discovery that Jien, the eminent Tendai priest who probably produced the scroll, had a vested interest in rokudō liturgy, this article focuses on the six realms as an emerging pictorial genre around the time of the Jōkyū Disturbance (1221). |
