Notes
English: Part of the set of five hanging scrolls Extermination of Evil depicting benevolent deities who expel demons of plague. This scroll was originally part of a handscroll known as the "second edition of the Masuda family Hell Scroll" before being cut into sections after World War II. The text on the scroll explains the acts of the god in exterminating evil. Sendan Kendatsuba, originally an Indian god of music, was a king of the Kendatsuba and thereby a member of the Eight Legions (八部衆) and the 28 legions (二十八部衆). According to the Lotus Sutra he is one of the 33 manifestations of Kannon Bosatsu and the central figure of the Dōjikyō Mandara (童子経曼荼羅). Here he is depicted in human guise hoisting the heads of evil animals and demons on a trident. The set of five scrolls has been designated as National Treasure of Japan in the category paintings.
Français : L'extermination du mal. Portion de l'un des cinq Kakemono représentant les divinités bénéfiques expulsant les démons de la peste. Ce rouleau était au départ une partie d'un rouleau plus grand connu sous le nom de "La seconde édition de l'enfer de la famille Masuda", qui a été découpé après la seconde guerre mondiale. Le texte décrit les actes des dieux exterminant le mal. Shōki est un exorciste légendaire originaire de Chine qui protégeait l'empereur Tang Xuanzong des démons du mal. Il est décrit avec de grand yeux et une barbe épaisse, une robe noire, un grand chapeau et de grandes bottes. L'ensemble des cinq rouleaux a été désigné trésor national du Japon, dans la catégorie des peintures.
