KEY WORD :@art history / iconography
@
Lit. mandala of a shrine. Devotional paintings (usually on large hanging scrolls) of the landscape of a shrine and its surrounding area. The deities themselves are not usually depicted although their presence in the depicted area is assumed. A type of suijakuga ‚瑉ζ. When a Buddhist temple related to the Shinto shrine is included in the subject of the painting it is called shaji mandara ŽΠŽ›™ΦδΆ—… (mandala of shrine and temple). When the deities of a shrine are the focus of the painting, then the painting is called *songyou mandara ‘ΈŒ`™ΦδΆ—…. Since deities are often depicted on a small scale in the shrine landscape, the distinction between miya mandara and songyou mandara may not always be clear.
