DescriptionPortrait of Kushihashi Teru (Mitsu).png
English: Portrait of Kushihashi Teru (Mitsu) painted during her lifetime (1553-1627). Important cultural property. From the Sojiji storehouse, provided by Kamakura National Treasure Museum. Artwork details: Colored silk artwork. Height 101.0 cm x Width 50.3 cm. Edo era. This portrait shows Matsu, the wife of Toshiie Maeda. When Toshiie passed away in the year Keicho 4 (1599), she cut her hair to become a priest with the Buddhist name “Hoshunin” and was painted as a nun wearing a Buddhist robe and with a Buddhist rosary in her arm, sitting on an elevated tatami mat and with kinds of curtains. Black and white mountains are drawn in the background which is of the same pattern as the portrait of Toshiie Maeda. There are words of Zozan Joun that Toshiie and Matsu had deeply embraced in Buddhism. Zozan was the 1881st abbot of Sojiji, and also the founder of the temple Hoshunin which is known as one of the main sub temples of Sojiji. The words “Hoshun-in-den Juei” are written, meaning that it is a statue of her living life.
