Kumano mandalas represent the Kumano Shrine complex, one of the most sacred sites in Japan. The painting is divided into three sections. At center, Buddhas and bodhisattvas sit on the tiled floor of a temple. In the bottom register, Shinto deities appear against mountains that dip into the Pacific Ocean. The top register reflects the distinctive confluence of Shinto and Buddhism that took place in medieval Japan, depicting deities from both religious traditions standing side by side. At right is Nachi Waterfall, the largest waterfall in Japan, whose tutelary deity\u2014the one-thousand-armed Kannon\u2014is shown in shining gold. Standing against the tallest peak is the three-eyed, blue-bodied Za\u014d Gongen, the tutelary deity of yamabushi (mountain-dwelling practitioners of a sect known as Shugend\u014d). The sect's legendary founder, En no Gy\u014dja, can be seen seated in a nearby cave, flanked by his two servant-demons.Free picture Kumano Shrine Mandala integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
