Après avoir rappelé l'histoire complexe de la composition de ce rouleau, des relations qu'il entretient avec un autre rouleau peint portant le titre de Zegaibō emaki (Rouleau peint du moine Zegai), ainsi qu'avec divers autres fragments et versions du récit, l'article propose une analyse du contenu et de l 'arrière-plan culturel ayant présidé à l'élaboration de l'œuvre. Le rouleau s'inscrit en effet dans le contexte plus général de l'époque médiévale et des affrontements entre les diverses écoles bouddhiques, celles des sept écoles de Nara, du Tendai et du Shingon, réunies sous le vocable de kenmitsu taisei (système dominant des écoles bouddhiques exotériques et ésotériques) et des nouvelles écoles apparues au début de l'époque Kamakura (1192-1333). De même, le rouleau constitue aussi un commentaire sur les relations entre l'empereur et le pouvoir des guerriers, autour, notamment de figures aussi célèbres et controversées que celles des empereurs Go-Shirakawa, Go- Toba et de l 'empereur retiré Sutoku.
