Joshinji Temple: Sakyamuni Buddha Triad
Cypress wood
釋迦三尊像
日本
此三尊像雕造於十二世紀。自日本平安時代（794～1185）後期，根據《妙法蓮華經》多被製作為釋迦牟尼佛坐像與左右隨從騎獅文殊及乘象普賢二脇侍，此即是其實例。三像之軀幹皆由檜木整材雕出，頭部與身軀切開後再接合，刳空再嵌上蓋板。外表和內部均施加漆繪金箔，以呈現出「皆金色」相。一九七六年指定為日本重要文化財。
主尊釋迦牟尼佛比例高大，作高肉髻，螺髮細小，額頭正中有白毫，眼瞼微啟，表情溫雅。肩寬胸厚，腰身內縮，右手施無畏印，左手置於膝上，予人平和沉靜之感。
文殊、普賢二菩薩像高分別為57公分、57.4公分，皆束髮髻、戴高冠，文殊菩薩右手握劍，左手拇指與中指相捻，普賢菩薩則雙手合掌置於胸前，二像之造型與主尊相仿，為十二世紀少數三尊一組之作品而受矚目。
