Note: '... The previous owner of this paintings has hopefully ascribed it to Eshin-Sozu himself. Since there are no known works of this master remaining and comparison is therefore impossible, such optimism is quite unwarranted. The figure of the Buddha is painted in gold of two tints which enabled the painter to delineate folds in the robe and the patterned design thereon without using other colours. This technique is peculiar to the (Kamakura) period and was derived from China.'
