The picture describes extinct Japanese habit.
Though it's extinct habits, Koushin-ko was held till Edo period (till 1868) in Japan.
Koushin-ko was Japanese habit which carried out in every two months.
Ancient people believed that there is a bug called "Sanshi" inside own body.
This bug reports people's past action to the God in Koushin day's night (every two months).
That's why, people that feared God's punishment never slept all night. They used to talk or drink through the night not to let bug go to the God.
There was a habit like that till 1868 in Japan. Then people appealed to SHOMEN KONGO for mercy.
Though Japanese who knows that are reducing, it's rare Buddhism image. Because the habit itself is extinct.
This hanging scroll have some damages or stains, because it's old one. Please recognize it. This hanging scroll is handwriting.
It have historically value!!
IT'S RARE!!
Currently unavailable!
It's rarely chance to get it!!!
I think that Buddhism is a near philosophy rather than a religion.
This item is miniature art (whether you have nothing to believe in Buddhism or not).
