Kannonkyou-wakun-zue/ First volume/ 1

It is an illustration of the Kannon currently drawn on the 1st page of the first volume of Sutra-of-Avalokitesvara Kazukuni picture collection.
The crepuscular rays called halo are drawn on the back of a head.
This halo is expression for which not only the East but Occidental Christianity is used.
The halo of a Saint or an angel in back is drawn in the religion pictures of Christianity.
It has suggested that it is an effective means when emphasizing the Saint who is in the man in the street, and it is a sacred existence.
The Kannon is one person of the bodhisattva who appears in Buddhism.
And the Sutra of Avalokitesvara is what summarized the preaching which the Kannon explained, and is also the Buddhist scripture of Mahayanist Buddhism.

観音経和訓図会の上巻の1ページ目に描かれている観音の挿絵です。頭部の背には光背(こうはい)と呼ばれる後光が描かれています。この光背は、東洋のみならず、西洋のキリスト教でも用いられる表現です。キリスト教の宗教絵画においては、聖人や天使の背後の光背が描かれます。一般人の中にいる聖人を強調する際に有効な手段であり、神聖な存在であることを示唆しています。観音とは仏教に登場する菩薩の1人です。そして、観音経は観音が説いた説法をまとめたもので、大乗仏教の経典でもあります。
