Each character, representing a buddha, sits on a colored lotus dais in this edition of the Lotus Sutra, which is dated to the late Heian period. These volumes in the Kyoto National Museum collection, the "Nyoraijinriki" (The Supernatural Powers of the Buddha) and "Zokurui" (Entrustment) chapters, are from the same set as the Ryoko-ji Temple Lotus Sutra, Volume 7 (in nine volumes, including the Amitartha Sutra and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva Sutra; missing Volume 6). The margins and column lines are rendered in silver, and the lotus petals are painted in pigments of malachite green, ultramarine, crimson, yellow, gold, and silver.
