A Wikipedia article on Xuanzang, the seventh-century Chinese Buddhist monk, scholar and translator whose overland pilgrimage to India brought back the texts underlying the Yogacara school. The article carries a captioned illustration described as a fourteenth-century painting of Xuanzang from Japan's Kamakura period, the same culture and period as this Metropolitan Museum of Art scroll.

Reliability Tier3
A crowd-edited tertiary reference, used here to confirm the Kamakura-period portrait tradition of Xuanzang as a subject in Japanese Buddhist painting, independently corroborated by the Metropolitan Museum of Art's own catalogue naming and describing an actual scroll of that culture and period.
