In April of 2018 the author acquired a two-scroll Tateyama mandara through Yahoo!Japan's auction website, Yafuoku! It arrived from an antique-art dealer in Shizuoka Citywith no additional information about its provenance. As it is currently in the author'scollection, it is herein referred to as the Fukue-ke Tateyama mandara.The two scrolls are probably remounted fragments that survive from what wasoriginally a set of four hanging scrolls. The fragments depict scenes of Tateyama's "hell"and of a ritual that was held in Tateyama's foothills called the Cloth-bridge Consecration(Nunobashi kanjō-e). The placement of that ritual within the overall composition indicatesthat it is an Ashikuraji-type Tateyama mandara. Closer inspection reveals resemblance tothe oldest extant Tateyama mandara versions, leading the author to speculate that it toois a relatively old Tateyama mandara.In this article the author first analyzes the composition and iconography of theFukue-ke version. Then he compares it to the Raigōji, Tsuboi-ke A, and Konzōin Tateyamamandara versions in order to establish its historical placement among these earlyAshikuraji-type Tateyama mandara.The Raigōji Tateyama mandara has long been regarded as the oldest amongAshikuraji-type Tateyama mandara versions. This comparison of early representations ofthe Cloth-bridge Consecration Rite, however, suggests that the Fukue-ke Tateyamamandara may be an even older work.新出の立山曼荼羅『福江家本』の構図や図像を詳しく分析し、次にその内容をもとに、これまで最も古いとされてきた芦峅寺系立山曼荼羅の『來迎寺本』、『坪井家A本』、『金蔵院本』の構図や図像と相互に比較し、それらの異同の意義を考察しながら、芦峅寺系立山曼荼羅の諸本における同作品の史料としての位置づけを提示した。その結果『福江家本』が、芦峅寺系立山曼荼羅諸本のなかで、前掲の『來迎寺本』などの3作品よりも、古い成立作品であることが判明した。
