K Series (K1, K5, K6, K10)

K series is a partial set of four scrolls from what was presumably a set of ten, and like the J series above, the hells are not numerically labeled. Of the four, three seem to be readily identifiable as the first hell with its entrance gate, the fifth hell overseen by Yama with his darkened face and the tenth hell with its six paths of reincarnation. I have no idea as to which hell the fourth scroll indexes and have arbitrarily dubbed it the sixth hell for now. (Image: 60 X 120 cm.)
