This mandala is not only positioned at the genealogy of the Kumano pilgrimage mandala from its style and but also contains images of Koya hijiri (ascetic of Koya-san Temple), therefore it is considered that two beliefs in Koya and in Kumano were intermingled in the then people's minds.
この参詣曼荼羅は様式から見て熊野参詣曼荼羅の系譜に位置づけられるだけでなく、高野聖の描写が見受けられることから、高野・熊野のふたつの信仰が混在していたことをうかがわせる。
