Kyoto National Museum
, commonly shortened to , is a famous set of four picture scrolls, or "emakimono", belonging to Kōzan-ji temple in Kyoto, Japan. The "Chōjū-giga" scrolls are also referred to as Scrolls of Frolicking Animals and Scrolls of Frolicking Animals and Humans in English. Some think that Toba Sōjō created the scrolls; however, it seems clear from the style that more than one artist is involved. The right-to-left reading direction of "Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga " is traditional in East Asia, and is still common in Japan. "Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga " is also credited as the oldest work of manga. The scrolls are now entrusted to the Kyoto National Museum and Tokyo National Museum.
