O obrazu
A spotted deer rides a cloud in Kasuga Deer Mandala, painted between the mid-1300s and the 1400s and now in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Its saddle carries a sakaki branch with wisteria around a golden mirror. Inside sit five Buddhist counterparts of the Kasuga shrine’s deities. The deer is the mount of Takemikazuchi, whose hall is the shrine’s first; the mountains above also identify the sacred Nara site. The painting was probably intended for an individual’s devotion to the Kasuga deities.
Slovy muzea
Riding on a rolling cloud, a spotted deer wears a brightly colored saddle. The saddle supports a branch of the evergreen Sakaki tree, trailing wisteria vines that cradle a large golden mirror. Within the mirror sit the five Buddhist manifestations (honjibutsu) of the deities (kami) of the Kasuga Grand Shrine in Nara. The presence of the deer—the vehicle of the deity Takemikazuchi no Mikoto of the first of the five halls of the shrine—and the characteristics of the mountain range at the top of the painting make clear the association with the sacred site of Kasuga. The painting was likely created for an individual’s personal devotions to the Kasuga deities
