扇面法華經冊子

日本

又稱扇面古寫經。由《妙法蓮華經》八卷,加上《無量義經》與《觀普賢經》二經開經卷與結經卷,共十卷所構成。繪製於十二世紀。大阪四天王寺藏本《法華經》卷第一、六、七及《無量義經》與《觀普賢經》,共五帖;東京國立博物館藏本《法華經》卷第八十一帖,分別於一九五一、一九五二年指定為日本國寶。
 日本平安時代(794~1185)貴族為得到神佛庇祐,盛行經文抄寫,用紙與裝訂均極精緻。扇面寫經為平安時代末法思想和《法華經》信仰結合所製,此華麗的裝飾品,成為當時貴族的時尚。
 扇面繪畫與經文內容無關,大多描繪宮廷貴族與庶民生活的世俗景物,或故事畫、花鳥山水圖。圖中有晾曬衣服的日常生活畫面;小孩嬉笑玩樂的景致;市集中商店林立,店舖內排列柿餅、乾魚、草鞋等物,舖前有頭頂包裹的婦人,或戴笠的女人,來來往往,場面熱鬧。畫風多採大和繪技法,於色紙上,以雲母粉為底,再施加淡紅色雲霞,之後撒上金箔、銀箔及稻芒等作為裝飾,形成圖案美麗的扇紙。以作畫該面為中心對折,並重疊數張,而成黏頁裝的冊子。
 寫經時,先用竹片在扇紙背面劃出格子,一面二十四行,每行十七字,依循扇形,往下字體越小。此作品人物五官使用「引目勾鼻法」,即眼睛只畫一道細線,鼻子打勾。衣服畫出細緻淡雅的彩紋,表現出別緻的裝飾美。
