How does Nezame Monogatari Emaki elucidate its abstract?
The Nezame Monogatari Emaki (寝覚物語絵巻) is an emakimono or emaki (painted narrative handscroll) from the Heian period of Japanese history (794–1185). It is an illuminated manuscript of Yoru no Nezame (夜の寝覚, Wakefulness at Midnight), which recounts a romance at the Imperial Court in Kyoto.  The work is one of the oldest of the emakimono preserved today, as well as one of the few extant examples of the onna-e ("women's pictures") style of painting in the Heian period. It is also among the National Treasures of Japan, which enshrines the most inestimable cultural property of the nation.
