This hanging scroll depicts Kishimojin, a side Buddha of the Nichiren sect. Kishimojin is the deity of safe childbirth and child-rearing, and is usually enshrined on the left side of the top shelf of the Buddhist altar. (Note: The left and right sides may be reversed.) The subdued, chic image and mounting blend in with any Buddhist altar design. It offers a unique charm that is different from hanging scrolls with more ornate mountings.
