This site presents Jiang Yizi’s Hell Transformation Scroll in eight high-resolution sections, preserving continuous handscroll viewing. The painted scenes and original annotations are displayed in separate layers for zooming and illustrated navigation.
The viewer loads image tiles as needed, so the entire long image need not be downloaded at once. Drag with a mouse, use the arrow keys, or navigate through the overview and ten-court guide.
