Enryakuji Temple Nyohodo Hall: Sutra Box

Gold and silver plated bronze

銅鎏金銀經盒

日本滋賀比叡山橫川如法堂遺蹟發現

一九二三年日本滋賀比叡山橫川如法堂遺址出土。於重建新塔工程時,挖掘出銅筒,內藏此經盒、水晶圓珠及木塔殘片等。經盒鑄於平安長元四年(1031)。一九五二年指定為日本國寶。
 據比叡山延曆寺紀錄,長元四年比叡山僧覺超等人將天長十年(833)慈覺圓仁抄寫的《妙法蓮華經》,與往後上東門院為與佛結緣而書寫的《法華經》一併納入銅筒,埋於地底。
 經盒分蓋、身和底座三部分,印盒式長方體,四角略圓。長27.1公分,寬12.1公分,高8.3公分。鍛造,銅質鎏金、銀,蓋、身口沿鑲邊。蓋面中央長方形雙線框格,內以雙鉤體刻「妙法蓮華經」經題。蓋面及四立面均以纖細毛雕表現寶相花卷草紋,紋樣部分鎏金,其餘鎏銀,增添金銀對比之光澤。卷草紋線條輕柔細緻,展現當時精湛的金工技術。底座立面皆闢壼門,無紋飾。
