A combined citation covering the Tokyo National Museum's own exhibition page for its Jingoji special exhibition, Wikipedia's article on the Mandala of the Two Realms, and the Japanese Wiki Corpus entry on the Ryokai mandala. Its strength is that the primary source is the exhibiting national museum's own institutional description of the object it displayed. Its limit is that none of the three sources gives a more precise creation date than production within Kukai's own lifetime, a gap this citation states rather than resolves with an invented year.
