Handscroll from the 'Picture scrolls of ballad dramas' (Mai no hon emaki) painted in ink, colours and gold on paper in Japan in the mid-17th century. This is one of six illustrated handscrolls in the Chester Beatty collection that tell stories from Japan's KÅwaka mai ballad dramas. Combining alternating sections of text and illustrations, these scrolls would have belonged to a larger set. This scroll features two stories from the childhood of hero Minamoto no Yoshitsune (1159-1189) entitled 'Scroll of the flute' (Fue no maki) and 'Chronicle of the future' (Miraiki), followed by a story from the vendetta of the Soga brothers: 'Laud of the sword' (Tsurugi sandan).
Scroll of the flute (Fue no maki), Chronicle of the future (Miraiki) and Laud of the sword (Tsurugi sandan) from the Picture scrolls of ballad dramas (Mai no hon emaki)
