In Laurie and Waynor's collection at Petrie Rogers Asian Fine Art and Antiques in Tucson, there is indeed a work related to Manpukuji by contemporary Japanese artist Tanaka Ryokei. Little know about how the artist produced this work and his connection with Manpukuji. Laurie said he lives in Kyoto, then it makes sense that he went to Manpukuji often. Maybe people who know Manpukuji well can tell from where the artist made the sketch. The artwork is on sale in the gallery.
