This method was used to allow repeated appearances of the same figure in the same scene to show passage of time, as may be seen in such typical screen pages as 'Kodomo no Kenka' (children's fight) in "Ban Dainagon Emaki" and Daibutsu-den (hall of the Great Statute of the Buddha) of Todai-ji Temple in "Shigisan Engi Emaki" (Also known as "Shigisan Engi").
これは、同一画面内に同一人物が複数回登場して、その間の時間的推移が示されているもので、『伴大納言絵巻』の「子どもの喧嘩」の場面と、『信貴山縁起絵巻』の東大寺大仏殿の場面がその代表例として知られる。
