This Furoshiki features Choju jinbutsu giga, credited as the oldest work of manga.
The national treasure Choju-jinbutsu-giga is in the form of a picture book, rendered in black ink paint and is currently stored at the Kozan-ji temple in Kyoto. The contents depict animals and people together reflecting the society of those ancient days.
The most famous panel is the story told by playful rabbits, frogs, monkeys, etc. with human-like characteristics.
They engage in water play, gambling, sumo wrestling, legal proceedings, quarrels and other curious scenes.
The theory is that the artist used these drawings to satirize human and contemporary society morals of the time.
