Leyendas ilustradas del templo Kitano Tenjin

late 13th century
Not on view
El templo Kitano Tenjin en Kioto está dedicado al erudito y estadista del siglo IX Sugawara Michizane (845–903). Michizane, calumniado por sus enemigos en la corte, murió en el exilio y al poco tiempo una serie de desastres naturales y plagas causaron la muerte prematura de sus detractores. El espíritu de Michizane reveló su deseo de que se le erigiera un templo en la zona noroeste de la capital. Hoy en día es venerado como el dios Shinto del estudio y la caligrafía.
