... that the Kokawa-dera Engi Emaki, a 12th century Japanese painted handscroll(detail pictured), has been partly burned in a fire, and also partly damaged at the edges? Source: burned: Shibusawa (2007), page 4; damaged at the edges: the commons images, including the ones illustrating the article, show some of that damage (it looks like water damage)

Interesting artwork, on good sources, offline and Japanese sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The licensed image doesn't show the intricate detail, but makes sufficiently curious. Please consider writing at least a stub about the place itself, to avoid a red link in lead and ibox. In the hook, I'd understand "was" instead of "has been". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:54, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
