This item is a 16th century scroll “Aizomegawa”—a fictional illustrated tale (emaki) about a resurrection of one woman at Aizomegawa River. In terms of size, the typical emaki measures approximately 32 cm in height. As of the second half of the 15th century, a smaller format about 16cm high and known as koe (lit., “small pictures”) also began to be used widely. This “Aizomegawa” is slightly smaller height (28cm).
