Thirteen Buddha scroll hanging picture for the Shingon sect, to be enshrined near the Buddhist altar during Obon, Higan, and memorial services.
It features the main thirteen Buddhas responsible for memorial services from the first seven days after death to the 33rd anniversary, and it is characteristic that the founder of the Shingon sect, Kobo Daishi, is also depicted together.

【Handling Precautions】
- When storing, gently dust with a soft feather duster, and be careful not to roll it too tightly.
- To prevent mold and insect damage, take it out of the box and dry in the shade during clear spring and autumn days about twice a year.
- Avoid hanging it for long periods, as it may impair the original flexibility of the hanging scroll. Also, avoid direct airflow from air conditioning, high humidity indoors, and direct sunlight.
