  Emaki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emaki is a horizontal, illustrated narrative form whose origins date back to the Heian Period in Japan.
Emaki combines both text and pictures, and is drawn, painted, or stamped on a hand scroll.
An emaki is read by unrolling a scroll with one hand and rolling it back with the other hand at the same time, moving from right to left.

 Moko Shurai Ekotoba = Mongol Invasions Painting Scrolls
Emaki are hand-scrolls with text and illustrative paintings that together usually narrate a story.
Although the origin of emaki can be traced back to Chinese hand-scrolls that came to Japan around the 6th century, emaki evolved into a unique Japanese art form beginning in the 9th century.
Some of the emaki have humorous elements which perhaps are one of the sources of modern Japanese comics.

 Sequential Tart: Atsukamashii Onna - Before They Were Manga (vol IV/iss 8/August 2001)
The first emaki was thought to have been created by an unknown court lady or ladies around 1130 as a gift for the ruling emperor, Sutoku, and his wife.
Emaki continued to flourish during the rest of the Heian Period and during the Kamakura Period (1185-1338).
Most of the emaki produced in the Muromachi period were Buddhist religious works with the occasional new version of the Genji story, or another story about the fall of the Heian period, such as the various Tale of Heike emaki.

The Kegon Engi Emaki, the illustrated history of the founding of the Kegon sect, is an excellent example of the popularizing trend in Kamakura painting.
The plot of the emaki, the lives of the two Korean priests who founded the Kegon sect, is swiftly paced and filled with fantastic feats such as a journey to the palace of the Ocean King, and a poignant love story.
Emaki versions of her novel continued to be produced, but the nobility, attuned to the new interest in realism yet nostalgic for past days of wealth and power, revived and illustrated the diary in order to recapture the splendor of the author's times.

By identifying the parallels between the verbal and pictorial narratives of the period, I will propose some general logics of Heian narrative which suggest that what modern commentators have perceived as the discrepancy of person in Heian writing may rather be understood as being perfectly consistent with a larger narrative economy.
It begins with an overview of various theories about how emaki are to be read, with particular attention to the conventions for the orientation of the reader/viewer, for the interaction between images and texts, and for identification with characters in them.
Yet, because discussions of emaki tend to ground their interpretation in linguistic or textual terms, it is difficult to talk about multiple regimes of seeing and reading, or about power relations.

Otogi Hyakki Toubatsu Emaki is set after the events of the original Otogi and focuses predominantly around the tale of Abe no Seimei, a particularly powerful Onmyo-ji of the Heian-era court.
This is the crux of the matter and something that Otogi Hyakki Toubatsu Emaki has simply not even begun to address.
In conclusion, Otogi Hyakki Toubatsu Emaki is by no means a bad game and it does improve upon the original.
