Illustrated Legends of Ishiyamadera depicts thirty-three separate stories about the miraculous powers of the temple’s main icon, the Nyoirin Kannon, popular especially among female pilgrims for its wish-fulfilling jewel and ability to aid in conception and safe childbirth. Author and self-professed Genji fanatic Takasue no Musume made the journey there in 1045, which is depicted here, and recorded it in her memoir, The Sarashina Diary (ca. 1060).
