Amitabha Sutra scroll, one Heart Sutra scroll and one prayer scroll dedicated to the Itsukushima Shrine.[1] The Nōkyō is written in a form of Japanese known in English as Classical Japanese

It has had a profound influence on

National Treasure of Japan.[2]

History and development

The Nōkyō was commissioned by the

Kannon.[4][5]
The Nokyo was written in Classical Japanese, Classical Chinese and the Kana script formatted as Ashida-E (reed writing) representing a votive and religious work of Heian-specific Art.[6]

In 1602, the

Tawaraya Sotatsu was commissioned to restore the Nokyo which affected his painting.[7]
