松雲元慶

黃檗宗僧、像像雕刻師 雕塑卷

俗名九兵衛。號松雲元慶。生於一六四八年,卒於一七一○年。日本江戶時代(1615~1868)黃檗宗禪僧、佛像雕刻師。原為京都造像匠師,江戶寛文九年(1669),二十二歲追隨以開版《鐵眼版一切經》而聞名的大阪瑞龍寺鐵眼道光禪師出家,於座下參禪。
 出家後行腳各地,傳說於豐前國(今大分中津)羅漢寺見五百羅漢石像,遂發願造像。四十歲時於江戶(今東京)一帶托鉢集資,歷經數十年,於元祿八年(1695)獨自雕刻等身大的釋迦、菩薩、羅漢像等,共計五百三十六尊。近代(1840~1919)之後因寺院衰微,多已佚失,現存三百零五尊,藏東京五百羅漢寺。在佛教雕刻普遍衰退時期,其雕刻作品成為江戶時代之代表。另於延寶五年(1677)東京豪德寺雕製三世佛及伽藍神像等佳作。
 元慶一生滯留於江戶,從事造像工事,採用中國明(1368~1644)末雕刻師范道生的樣式,加上日本式的沉穩,開創出獨特雕刻藝術,所造佛像表情生動,肌肉結構起伏變化較大,衣褶繁複卷曲,敞開胸襟,予人深刻印象。
