Most emakimono have pictures of more or less 30cm high in full vertical length, but some have even larger pictures with a vertical length of 50cm or more like the Jokyu version of "Kitano Tenjin Engi Emaki" (an illustrated history of Kitano shrine).
画面のサイズは天地が30cm前後のものがもっとも多いが、『北野天神縁起』（承久本）のように、天地が50cmを超える大作もある。
