Chikubushima, an island north of the ancient capital of Kyoto, attracted the attention of Japan's rulers in the Momoyama period (1568-1615). This study illustrates how private belief and political ambition influenced artistic production at the intersection of institutional Buddhism and Shinto during political, social, and aesthetic changes.
