The inscription identifies him and notes that the study is after a portrait in the subtemple Jiz\u014d\u2019in at Daigoji. The artist included scars from an illness, and made notations about the colors the clothing should be. Seigen was abbot of Daigoji, one of the most influential Esoteric Buddhist temples in Japanese history.",
