根本大塔

日本和歌山伊都

又稱高野山大塔。位於日本和歌山縣伊都郡高野町金剛峰寺。平安弘仁七年(816),空海大師以高野山作為入定之地時,天皇敕許興建,是日本最早的多寶塔。因作為真言密教之根本道場而興建,故名。後經火災燒毀,現存為昭和十二年(1937)重建。
 該塔高二層,約48.5公尺,鋼筋混凝土結構,建立於石砌台基上。第一層面闊、進深皆五間,塔檐向上延伸,與第二層圓形塔身渾然一體,狀如龜腹。第一、二層檐下設斗栱,第一層正面當心間、次間闢門,梢間為直櫺窗,第二層周緣設平座欄杆。頂立塔剎,由露盤、覆鉢、相輪及火焰形寶珠組成。
 塔內供奉胎藏界大日如來和金剛界四佛,即阿●(門+三人)佛、寶生佛、無量壽佛、不空成就佛。堂內十六根柱子各彩畫一尊菩薩像,四隅懸掛真言密教付法的八祖師像,即龍猛、龍智、善無畏、金剛智、不空、一行、惠果和空海等。內部呈現空海所構思的曼荼羅世界,富麗堂皇。
