"The Bodhisattva Manjushri riding on a lion breathing vapour" is a notable work of Japanese art attributed to Kose-no-Hirotaka, an artist whose contributions are recognized within the realm of traditional Japanese painting. This piece is particularly significant as it depicts Manjushri (Monju in Japanese), the bodhisattva associated with wisdom in Mahayana Buddhism, a figure revered for his ability to cut through ignorance and lead beings towards enlightenment. In this artwork, Manjushri is portrayed mounted on a lion, which symbolizes the fearlessness and the wild nature of wisdom that knows no bounds.

The depiction of Manjushri riding a lion is a common iconographic representation in Buddhist art, with the lion's breath often visualized as vapour or flames, indicating the power of truth that Manjushri's wisdom breathes into the world.

Kose-no-Hirotaka, a member of the Kose school of painting, was known for his contributions to the development of Japanese religious painting. The Kose school, which originated in the Heian period (794-1185), was influential in the evolution of Yamato-e, a classical Japanese style of painting that often featured narrative themes and was characterized by its use of bright colors and attention to detail.
