Layer 1: Ritual Diagram as Institutional Memory

The museum explicitly describes the Tensō-Chifu plan as recording the ritual ground so that it could be consulted for future ceremonies.

The diagram is not an artistic representation made after the fact. It is a form of professional procedural memory.

This has parallels with:

  • Daoist altar diagrams;
  • Mikkyō mandalas/manuals;
  • shrine ceremony maps;
  • Shugendō route diagrams.

High-value images now source-identified:

  1. Senshutsu/Rekichū Zassho, H-679-12-4 — CC BY-SA, 85 color cuts.
  2. Tensō-Chifu-sai no Zu, H-679-8-7 — CC BY-SA.
  3. Exhibition photographs of Yoshikawa divination and Dokujin materials.
  4. Ground-pacification talisman diagrams in Yoshikawa manuscript family.

Because the museum explicitly licenses these collection records CC BY-SA 4.0, future local packaging can include downloaded/reproduced images with attribution and share-alike metadata once the exact image endpoints have been captured.
