H Series (H1-H3)

Like the D series, the H series seems to be in the southern style and gathers all courts onto a single scroll. Yet what is unique about this series is the two flanking scrolls of guardian images, thereby making this a three-scroll set. While they are physically among the smallest scrolls, these guardian images are among the largest within the hellish population of this collection. On their backs, these scrolls bear the "trademark" (jihao) of a certain Deng Falin. As these scrolls are usually produced from artisan workshops and not artists, they are rarely signed.
