Field notes
The explanatory text describes the display as a household tradition in which collections may grow across generations, with individual pieces chosen, brought home from temple towns or pilgrimages, or handed down. It gives the steps a specific hierarchy: deities at the top, followed by avatars, saints, teachers, rulers, stories, people, animals, and ordinary objects. The page also connects the ninth and tenth days with book and tool observances and the beginning of learning.
