Gåva av herr U. A. Casal, Shioga nära Kobe, Japan. Enligt generalkatalogen dessutom: "Om dessa skriver donator i ett brev av 13/1 1949: "I have prepared a paper for the Swiss Society on the E-ma, "picture horses", votive paintings, and in asking for photographs etc. at several temples, one of them sent me the actual paintings, 10 of them, only small ones...
