| Итог: | One of the recurring themes depicted in the Tengu zōshi, a set of seven scrolls dated 1296, is the conflict among established temples of Nara and Kyoto. The present article focuses particularly on the dispute between Enryaku-ji (sanmon) and Onjō-ji (jimon) that took place during the thirteenth century as it is depicted in Tengu zōshi. The analysis of the texts, both visual and verbal, reveals that the scrolls are more sympathetic to Onjō-ji than Enryaku-ji. This is evident especially when the verbal texts of the Onjō-ji and Enryaku-ji scrolls are compared. Closer examination of the scrolls also shows that Onjō-ji claims superiority over all other established temples. This study shows how the scrolls reveal the discourse formed by the temples during disputes in the late Kamakura period in order to win support from political authorities. Tengu zōshi, therefore, in addition to being a fine example of medieval art, is also an invaluable source for historical studies of late Kamahura Buddhism. |
