A book for shabutsu, the practice of drawing Buddhist images, done here by tracing and coloring. It contains more than 30 pictures, including the Buddhist figures of the Esoteric Buddhism that Kukai brought to Japan.
You trace the line drawings first and then color them as you like. Finished pictures can be removed from the book and displayed. The book is B5 size with 79 pages and includes a chronology.
The drawings for tracing were made by Jien Shizuka, who also supervised the book. Jien Shizuka is a Dento Dai-Ajari (a high-ranking priest) of Koyasan and a scholar of Buddhism.
Translated from the Japanese original.
