Handwritten and illuminated emakimono (paper roll painting). Monthly record of events or seasonal plays of a year in Kyoto, which include: Intriguing play called ‘guta,’ ball play using broomsticks and wooden sticks performed in January; wagons in bustling streets in Gion in June, fascinating chrysanthemum scent in the Double Yang Day (Lunar September 9) in September. Emakimonos of similar kinds have survived to this day in relatively larger number. They are thought to have been produced in large number by the order of Daimyō who admired elegant Kyoto culture.(en)

肉筆彩色絵巻。当時、京の都で行われていた一年間の行事や季節の遊びを、月ごとに記したもの。たとえば、正月は箒や振振（ぶりぶり）で毬を打つ毬打（ぎっちょう）という珍しい遊びに興ずる様子、六月は賑やかな祇園の山鉾、九月は菊花の香る重陽の節句の風景等が描かれている。同種の絵巻は比較的多く現存しており、優雅な京の文化に憧れた大名などの注文に応じて多数製作されたと考えられる。(ja)
