Legendas ilustradas do templo Kitano Tenjin

Japão

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 223

O templo Kitano Tenjin em Quioto é dedicado ao estudioso e estadista do século IX Sugawara Michizane (845–903). Michizane, caluniado por seus inimigos da corte, morreu no exílio e pouco tempo uma série de desastres naturais e pragas causou a morte prematura de seus detratores. O espírito de Michizane revelou seu desejo de que fosse erguido um templo no setor noroeste da capital. Hoje em dia é venerado como o deus xintoísta da aprendizagem e da escrita.
