伴大納言絵詞（ばん）は、12世紀後半の絵巻物で、日本の平安時代王鉄門の陰謀を描いている。常盤光長作とされるこの絵巻物は、20メートル（66フィート）以上、高さ約31.5センチメートル（12.4インチ）宣長によるものとされている。 [ 1 ]
これらの巻物は、1177年の京都大火で皇居大天門が焼失した後、後白河上皇（1127-1192年、在位1155-1158年）が友義雄の怒りの霊を鎮めるために命じたものと広く信じられている。巻物が1177年の大火の結果として作られたかどうかはともかく、巻物の意図は友義雄の怒りの霊を鎮めることにあるようだ。
この巻物には、866年3月10日に起こった友義雄が関与した大天門の陰謀事件が描かれている。友義雄の悔恨の念は、友義雄の霊の復讐心から身を守るため、巻物の中で文章を通して強調されている。
この彩色画は、866年3月に起こった出来事を描いている。伴大納言（とものよしお）が京都の大鉄門に放火し、政敵である左大臣の源誠に罪を着せた。しかし、真犯人はすぐに判明し、伴義雄は伊豆国へ流刑となった。
Stylistically, the scroll is interesting because it is done using a combination of the otoko-e and tsukuri-e styles. Calligraphic lines are used to define figures, which characterizes the otoko-e style used in the shigisan-engi scroll. However, thick coats of bright colors are used in some scenes, typical of the tsukuri-e style used in the Genji Monogatari Emaki.[2] Hideo Okudaira nonetheless classifies the Ban Dainagon Ekotoba as a strict example of otoko-e ("men's painting"), as opposed to the onna-e ("women's painting") style seen in works such as the Genji Monogatari Emaki, on account of its continuous sequence of scenes unbroken by text and its narrative focus on unfolding action.[3][4] Techniques associated with the scroll also include hampuku byōsha, the repeated depiction of the same figure within a single scene to convey the passage of time, and fukinuki yatai, the omission of roofs to reveal building interiors, in addition to the layered, "built-up" application of the tsukuri-e technique described above.[4]
Vol. 1 — The first scroll illustrates the burning of the Otemmon gate while people tried to put out the flames, followed by the proof that Makoto was unjustly accused of his actions during the misunderstandings.
Vol. 2 — The Second scroll showcased the consolation to Makoto while he is praying to the gods and Buddha despite the fact that he did not do the actions which he was accused of. After that, they showed the suspicions about Tomo no Yoshio burning the gates. This imagery is rather indirect. It illustrates children arguing in the streets, later joined by their parents to abuse them and then gossiping amongst themselves about Tomo no Yoshio burning the gates.
Vol. 3 — The Third Scroll displays the arrest of Tomo no Yoshio as he is sent to exile. The picture indicates that Tomo no Yoshio had a servant who accidentally revealed the true culprit to the burning of the gate and after being arrested, he confessed to the police about what happened. The women in his mansion seemed morally weakened as they weep while Tomo no Yoshio is being taken to exile by the police in an ox cart.
