Summary: "<strong>The</strong> Frolicking Animal and Human Figures scroll is in the<br />

<strong>collection</strong> of Kozanji Temple in Kyoto. In black ink, it depicts animals<br />

playing, but it seems that the scroll numbers are not sequential because<br />

some sections were joined together incorrectly. <strong>The</strong> scroll is popular for<br />

its humour as well as its mystery and may be the origin of modern comics.<br />

<strong>The</strong> programme focuses on the comical touch of the work and the mind<br />

of the artist." --From NHK International TV Programme catalogue<br />
