Enryakuji Temple: Sutra Box
Wood
木漆蒔繪寶相花紋經箱
日本
日本十一世紀作品。為平安時代（794～1185）蒔繪經箱名作之一。一九五七年指定為日本國寶。
經箱長33公分，寬20公分，高17公分。印盒式長方體，木質，蓋身上下相合，口沿以錫鑲邊。通體塗黑漆，灑上粗質砂粉之平塵為地，再以金、青金及銀研出蒔繪的技法描繪寶相花卷草團花紋。
蓋面及四立面均繪有圓輪，輪內飾團花紋樣。構圖係以四瓣花朵為中心，四面配以左右相稱之卷草花卉紋。圓輪用粗金粉著色，寶相花以細金粉，花蕊用青金粉，葉則施以銀粉，將三種細粉巧妙地分別灑落。
此十一世紀經箱與平安初期作品相較，表現出當時纖細之特徵，紋樣稍微形式化，推測是平安初期進入中期的過渡時期之作。
