介绍（中）	僧侣们努力以佛陀为榜样，他们的生活是插图叙事的流行来源。创立真净土宗的新兰（1173-1263）的第一本传记是由他的孙子Kakunyo（1270-1351）撰写的。故事的插图版本最初以手卷形式出现，后来以卷轴形式出现。后者在纪念新兰逝世的年度追悼会上被陈列在寺庙大厅里。整套卷轴对公众可见，可以同时看到真然生活中的所有情节，同时一名僧侣背诵故事——一种被称为etoki（图片解释）的表演这里的叙述按时间顺序从右到左，从下到上进行。场景由水平的云带划分。
介绍（英）	The lives of monks, who strove to model themselves after the Buddha, were a popular source for illustrated narratives. The first biography of Shinran (1173–1263), who founded the True Pure Land (Jōdo Shinshū ) sect, was written by his grandson Kakunyo (1270–1351). Illustrated versions of the story appeared first in the handscroll format and later as hanging scrolls. The latter were displayed in temple halls during the annual memorial service commemorating Shinran’s death. The entire set of scrolls was made visible to the public, allowing all the episodes in Shinran’s life to be seen at the same time, while a monk recited the story aloud—a type of performance known as etoki (picture explaining). The narrative here progresses chronologically from right to left, bottom to top. Scenes are divided by horizontal bands of cloud.
