The hells are arranged in the order (2-10-9-11-1-6-15). Except for the last section all paintings are accompanied by a text starting with the phrase: "There is yet another hell,..." followed by a description of the cause of the sinner's fall into this particular hell. This picture shows the Hell of the Iron Mortar, the third section of the scroll and the 9th of the sixteen hells. The scroll has been designated as National Treasure of Japan in the category paintings.
