Depicting the horrors of hell through art
is a tradition in Buddhism that goes back at least 1,000 years in Japan. By depicting the suffering in store for sinners, the artworks were supposed to scare people onto the straight and narrow.
But if that’s what this late 19th century scroll was for, it might have had the opposite effect. We’ve never seen such a cute hellscape!
This particular scroll is part of Waseda University’s collection and is a copy by an artist called Kanshou of an unknown earlier hell scroll. His style is simple and kind of spindly, making the humans and devils look cartoonish. The combination that doodling style and the sometimes nonsensical situations makes for a very cute package, in our opinion.

Having beans thrown at you, being glared at while sitting in a flower - - what horror!
So, Hell.
It’s supposed to be a scary, not-so-cool place, right? All that fire and torture and eternal suffering are supposed to be the ultimate punishment for not acting like a good person during your life. Makes sense that it would be depicted as a pretty miserable place in artwork then, right?

地獄草紙 東博本 雨炎火石
地獄を描いた12世紀の絵巻物。地獄草紙と呼ばれる絵巻物は、東京国立博物館本（国宝）、奈良国立博物館本（国宝）、旧益田家本甲巻、旧益田家本乙巻の4巻があった。このうち旧益田家本乙巻は、現在では、地獄を描いたものではないとされ、「辟邪絵」（へきじゃえ）と呼ばれるようになっている。

This scroll consists of seven painted scenes, six of which are accompanied by text. The scenes were based on descriptions of the sixteen lesser hells given in
Kisekyô (literally, "Sutra of the World Arising"), which was translated into Chinese by Jnanagupta (d. 600). According to the sutra, around the eight greater hells lie sixteen lesser hells - the hells of "The Black Sand Cloud," "Excrement," "The Five Prongs," "Starvation," "Searing Thirst," "Pus and Blood," "The Single Bronze Cauldron," "Many Bronze Cauldrons," "The Iron Mortar," "Measures," "The Flaming Cock," "The River of Ashes," "The Grinder," "Sword Leaves," "Foxes and Wolves," and "Freezing Ice."
Today, these scenes are ordered such that the second, tenth, ninth, eleventh, first, sixth, and fifteenth hells appear in succession. A scroll fragment of the "Hell of the Single Bronze Cauldron" in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is thought to have originally been part of the Nara set.
Each section of the text begins with the phrase,
"There is yet another hell,"
to which is added a description based on Kisekyô, in which the cause for the sinners' fall into a particular hell is recorded. According to one view, however, the seventh scene, rather than depicting the "Hell of Foxes and Wolves" (J. Korô jigoku) described in Kisekyô, represents the "Hell of Wolves and Foxes" (J. Rô yakan nairi) that appears in Dairôtankyô ("Great Sutra of the World Arising").
The paintings are executed with supple lines embellished with a variety of dark, rich colors. They have a somewhat oppressive air and yet at the same time suggest a sense of transcendental peacefulness. The style of the "Hell of the Iron Mortar" recalls the frontispiece of the Chûson-ji Temple sutras, while that of the "Hell of the Flaming Cock" shows the influence of Chinese paintings of the Song dynasty (960-1279). This handscroll has the most delicate expression of all the extant "Illustrated Scrolls of the Six Paths of Rebirth" (J. rokudô emaki), a category that includes other Hell Scrolls,
the Scrolls of the Hells for Buddhist Novices (J.
Shamon jigoku zôshi), the Hungry Ghosts Scroll (J. Gaki zôshi), Extermination of Evil (J. Hekijae), and the Scroll of Diseases and Deformities (J. Yamai no sôshi).
It is highly probable that these Illustrated Scrolls of the Six Paths of Rebirth correspond to the "Paintings of the Six Paths" (J. rokudô-e) mentioned in textual sources, which were commissioned by Emperor Goshirakawa (1127-92, r. 1155-58) and stored originally in Rengeô-in Temple (Sanjûsangendô).

Shamon jigoku zôshi 沙門地獄草紙 Scrolls of the Hells for Buddhist Novices
Shamon Jigoku - a hell for monks
CLICK for more photos !
- quote -
Monk-in-Hell Scroll (Hell of boiling excrement)
This is the fifth volume of Jigoku Zoshi (picture scroll depicting hell) with seven volumes in total, which had been handed down to the Masudas. The Jigoku Zoshi owned by the former Masudas had long been handed down as a set of Jigoku Zoshi and Hekija-e (a painting that depicts a scene of evil being punished and exterminated) (National treasure; owned by the Nara National Museum).
It has been known that the set depicts the
Shamon Jigoku (a hell for monks), which is explained in the Batorasetsu Sutra contained in the Butsumyo Sutra comprising 16 volumes and this drawing corresponds to the Fusshi Jigoku in the Shamon Jigoku. The Jigokuhen Gobyobu, a folding screen on which hell was drawn and which was used at the Butsumyo-e Service that had been practiced at Court since the early Heian period, depicts the Shamon Jigoku. Since it is possible that the
Hekija Deity (deity that expels evil) was also drawn on this folding screen, some believe that the Jigoku Zoshi of the former Masudas, including this one and Hekija-e originally constituted one picture scroll that was created based on the design of the Jigoku Gobyobu.
While this drawing displays the traditional techniques of Yamato-e in the Heian period as exemplified by the handwriting in the style of Jakuren school in the legend and the careful sketches and shading in character drawing, it also shows characteristics of a transitional period to the Kamakura period, such as the line drawing of Mezurasetsu (servants in hell) represented in the extremely fat or thin bodies. It can be said, therefore, that this was created during the period from the end of the Heian period to the early Kamakura period.

安居寺 Ango-Ji /
富山県南砺市安居4941 / 4941 Yasui Nanto-shi, Toyama
In the 2nd year of the Yoro era (718 C.E.), Angoji temple was founded by Shingon Buddhist Patriarch
Zenmui Sanzo, who was visiting from India. I
n the Nara period, it served as Emperor Shomu's temple, as well as that of the Kaga Domain in the Edo period, and is thus the home of many treasured items. Notable among these is the standing statue Mikae Amidanyorai, "The Staring Amida Tathagata". The most prized possession of the temple is a wooden statue of Kanon Bodhisattva from the early Heian period (designated important cultural asset), which can be seen at its unveiling once every year on October 18th.

Nihon Ryōiki - Record of Miraculous Events in Japan
Haruo Shirane, Burton Watson
The Nihon ryoiki, a collection of setsuwa, or "anecdotal" tales, compiled by a monk in late-eighth- or early-ninth-century Japan, records the spread of Buddhist ideas in Japan and the ways in which Buddhism's principles were adapted to the conditions of Japanese society. Beginning in the time before Buddhism was introduced to Japan, the text captures the effects of the nation's initial contact with Buddhism--brought by emissaries from the king of the Korean state of Paekche--and the subsequent adoption and dissemination of these new teachings in Japanese towns and cities.
The Nihon ryoiki provides a crucial window into the ways in which Japanese Buddhists began to make sense of the teachings and texts of their religion, incorporate religious observances and materials from Korea and China, and articulate a popularized form of Buddhist practice and belief that could extend beyond monastic centers. The setsuwa genre would become one of the major textual projects of classical and medieval Buddhism, with nearly two dozen collections appearing over the next five centuries. The Nihon ryoiki serves as a vital reference for these later works, with the tales it contains finding their way into folkloric traditions and becoming a major source for Japanese authors well into the modern period.
