Twelve Buddhas and Kobo Daishi (Jusanbutsu)
The image depicts a vertical rectangular artwork on a brown background, resembling aged paper. A dark border with gold accents frames the artwork. The artwork features 12 figures in circular halos, arranged in four rows of three. The top figure sits cross-legged on a throne-like structure. The remaining 11 figures are seated cross-legged. All 12 figures wear traditional Asian robes. Red kanji characters are scattered throughout the artwork. At the bottom, a figure sits on a chair, not in a halo, wearing red and black robes, and holding a book. Red kanji characters are on the left side of the figure. The overall composition suggests a Buddhist theme, possibly representing Twelve Buddhas and Kobo Daishi.
