The Ippen Hijiri-e (1299) is a set of twelve Japanese handscrolls documenting the religious life and beliefs of Ippen (1234-1289), itinerant monk and founder of the Ji Sect of Pure Land Buddhism. The scrolls are unique for the inclusion of more than one hundred outcasts, or hinin (non-persons). In 14th-century Japan, outcasts were often despised and discriminated against because of their disregard for Buddhist proscriptions against killing.

During the French Revolution, all possessions of the church and former monarchy were declared to be the national property of the new French Republic. In order to deal with the influx of material, the government established storage dépôts in former monasteries and convents where the “objects of art and science” could be collected, sorted, and disseminated for public education. Under the direction of Alexandre Lenoir, the funerary monuments, sculpture, and architectural decoration stored at the Petits-Augustins dépôt evolved into the Musée des Monuments français.
