Bodhisattva Monju (Manjusri) and Bodhisattva Fugen (Samantabhadra) are often depicted to the right and left to the Buddha as his attendants. Fugen is usually shown riding on a while elephant with a mien radiating the values of enlightenment: the law, samadhi (meditative concentration) and ascetic discipline. The last, 28th, section of the eighth book of the Lotus Sutra, the Fugen Kanhotsu chapter, explains how the wisdom of the Lotus Sutra is acquired after death of the Buddha in response to the question of Fugen. From these associations, Fugen has been an important deity in the worship of the Lotus Sutra. Faith in the Lotus Sutra was very deeply embedded in the aristocracy of the Heian court, and there are many paintings of the bodhisattva from this period. All of them have the bodhisattva seated on a white elephant. Here, however, separated from the white elephant, seated up in heaven above the clouds, Fugen is not found elsewhere in this kind of composition. It is a very precious specimen since it is the only one of its kind currently in existence.
