The original artwork is attributed to the Priest Kakuyu (1053-1140), known by his honorary title, Toba Sojo.

Mr. Yoshizawa's redition of the work is thirty-six feet long and was completed on one piece of paper.

This work is done in the traditional Japanese form, where it is intended to be "read" from right to left. Western influences in the design of the web make it impossible to view images beginning at the right-most edge, where those images are longer than one screen wide. Therefore these three parts of the scroll necessarily start at the left margin.

Mr. Yoshizawa's artwork is presented here in two forms:

1. The work as two, long (and therefore large) images:
   • The Left Half
   • The Right Half

   which necessarily begins at the "end" (meaning the left-most edge of the image). One can slide back and forth to get to the intended beginning, or read the work from the end to the beginning.

2. The work as a "slide show", three panels per screen, with directional arrows so that the viewer can scroll back and forth.
   • Choju Giga Slide Show

   This form does allow us to begin the scroll at the right-most edge, so we have done so. "Scrolling" through the work, will involve moving from right to left, as the work was intended to be viewed.
