Formerly in possession of Enman-in Temple, these diagrams show Onjô-ji Temple and its surroundings in twelve sections. They were probably a folding screen originally. From the right, the North, Central, and South Buildings form the right wing of the screen, and Nyoiji Temple and the three besshos (residences of training monks) form the leftwing. These diagrams look almost the same as the late-Kamakura period diagrams housed in Onjô-ji Temple, and are clearly based upon them. The depictions of trees and golden clouds show the characteristics of the Kanô school of painting active in the Muromachi and Edo periods.
