#from like a functional stadnpoint...

So there's this gigantic scroll of the Buddhist Naraka in the classical style of hell panorama art that was popular in the far east, and a couple years back I posted a big cut up of these images that I had tried to stitch together across a few different versions --some very noticeably lower quality scans or photographs and image resolutions than others. But at the time I had been missing a few sizable chunks, as a lot of the images I'd found online were incomplete collections and photographs and cropped to focus on specific scenes, leaving certain transitional segments of the illustration missing. Well I did at some point track down the missing bits, even if they didn't all stitch into the bigger picture all that cleanly.

unfortunately it's too damn big to post as one image, and by posting it in a format that can be scrolled through contiguously, you actually have to start from the end and go backwards to the front. So starting from the left side of the first image you can see the tortured souls having paid their dues to the karmic cycle being reborn into the material world as babies and as animals. And at the right side of the final image you'll see the world of the living being looked down upon by the divine as the newly dead shuffle into queue to be judged by the first of several kings/judges of the underworld
