Hotspur🏳️🌈🇺🇦<p>"Illustrated Legends of the Kitano Tenjin Shrine," Unknown Artist, late 13th century.</p><p>This scroll painting, from the Kamakura period, depicts a scene from the legendary life of the Shinto deity Tenjin, who originally was a poet, scholar, and statesman named Sugawara Michizane (845–903), who was slandered at court and died in exile. </p><p>Various natural disasters occurred after his death, which in Shinto belief indicates a restless and wronged spirit. In 942 his spirit somehow indicated he wanted to be honored at a shrine in Kyoto, where he was deified as Tenjin, a god of agriculture and a patron of the wrongfully accused. His worship later declared him a patron of literature and music. </p><p>This scroll shows how a dragon came out of the body of the minister who slandered Michizane, and declared he was wrongfully accused. The minister then dropped dead.</p><p>From the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/JapaneseArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JapaneseArt</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AsianArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AsianArt</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Shinto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Shinto</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/UnknownArtist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UnknownArtist</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/KamakuraPeriod" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KamakuraPeriod</span></a></p>
