This hanging scroll depicts Shaka Nyorai, the principal image of Zen Buddhism (Soto, Rinzai, etc.). The principal image is the Buddha idealized by each sect, and a pictorial representation of the Buddha is called a picture image. It is usually hung in the upper center of the Buddhist altar. The subdued, chic image and mounting complement any altar design. It offers a unique charm that is distinct from the more ornate mountings of hanging scrolls.
