These paintings were originally part of a triptych that featured Amida Nyorai and these two principal attendant bodhisattvas, Seishi and Kannon, in an Amida Yamagoe Raigo (literally, Amida Coming over the Mountain) a devotional painting displayed at the bedside of a dying person. The arrival of the Amida trio to take the soul of the departed to the Heavenly paradise was a central tenet in Pure Land Buddhism. In such paintings, a set of strings were often attached to the hands of Amida onto which the dying believer would hold while chanting Amida Buddha's name, creating a physical and spiritual connection at the moment of departure.
