From the new featured topic, National treasures of Japan, and also a new featured picture this week: part of the set of five 12th-century hanging scrolls, Extermination of Evil, depicting benevolent deities who expel demons of plague. All five are now featured on the English Wikipedia. This scroll was originally part of a handscroll that was cut into sections after World War II. The text on the scroll explains the acts of the god in exterminating evil—symbolised by the divine insect, a euphemism for the silkworm that takes the form of a moth here. Courtesy of the Tokyo National Museum, Emuseum and held in the Nara National Museum.
