Standing upon a rolling cloud, the white stag wears a brightly colored saddle festooned with jewels. Atop the saddle, a sacred evergreen sakaki tree cradles a large golden mirror. White strips of paper hang from the tree’s lower branches, which are interlaced with a wisteria flower vine. Although they are difficult to see, five seated figures are reflected in the mirror. They are the five Buddhist manifestations, or <i>honjibutsu</i>, of the deities (kami) of the Kasuga Grand Shrine in Nara—the most important Shintō shrine in Japan, founded in 768 CE. At the top of the painting, in the distance, a small landscape features mounds of multicolored, rolling hills and swirling clouds.
