 note = {Three gods are enshrined in separate sanc- tuaries of Usa Shrine, Ōita Prefecture. Until the Meiji Era, three palanquins were used for these three gods on such occasions as Hōjōe ceremony. The oldest ritual palanquin existing in Usa Shrine is one said to have been made in the Ōei Era (1394-1427). It is preserved in the Treasure Hall of the shrine. The inside of each palanquin used to be adorned with three panel paintings on the three sides other than the front, all depicting narrative scenes from or related to the Lotus Sutra. Therefore, nine panel paintings originally composed a set for three palanquins. In this paper, the author treats twelve panel paintings presumablly once belonging to the palanquins of Usa Shrine. Judging from the stylistic characteristics and literary information, eight of them were perhaps made for the Hōjōe ceremony in the second year of the Tokuji Era (1307) and the other four must have been made in the twenty 
seventh and twenty-eighth year of the Ōei Era (1420 and 1421). The author calls the former the “ Tokuji version ” and the latter, the “Ōei version.” Eight of the former and two of the latter four are now in the collection of the HOSOMI Family, Osaka, and the other two of the latter are still preserved in Usa Shrine. The author found literary material which indicates that the later version was executed by a court painter recorded under the name of Kaga-no-kami. Of the Ōei version, the two panels kept in Usa Shrine are of a size which exactly fits the abovementioned existing palanquin in Usa Shrine. 
     The two versions treat the same themes and have the same compositions, the Dei version being modelled after the Tokuji version. Both versions are noteworthy Buddhist paintings done by artists specializing in the so-called yamatoe style painting. Especially, the Ōei version is art historically valuable since its date and artist are now identified.},
