Narrow painted handscroll with small ink-and-color figures in scattered scenes: travelers by a stream, a fenced enclosure, a house, and a man with a stick near an animal.

Miracles performed by the bodhisattva Jizo (copy of a section of a handscroll)

A narrow horizontal handscroll section in ink and light color on paper flecked with gold, showing small figures in scattered episodes: travelers beside a winding stream, a fenced enclosure, a house with figures inside, and a man with a raised stick near an animal at right. Trees and rolling ground frame the scenes in soft, faded tones.
