Ink and color on silk

阿彌陀佛及八大菩薩像

韓國

圖左下方有金泥題記「延祐七年(1320)五月日安養寺住持大師□□」,得知是高麗忠肅王七年安養寺僧人所繪。在眾多彩繪阿彌陀佛九尊像中,此幅係唯一有明確紀年的作品。一九○九年指定為日本重要文化財。
 傳此圖依據唐代(618~907)不空譯《普賢菩薩行願讚》與《八大菩薩曼荼羅經》繪製而成。圖中阿彌陀佛寬額,結跏趺坐於蓮座上,身著袈裟,雙手舉於胸前結印,二手皆為第一指與第三指相捻。帶圓形頭光和大圓背光。
 八大菩薩分立於佛前二側,左右對稱,構圖勻整;內側四尊朝向正面,外側四尊稍側身轉向中央。菩薩皆帶圓形透明頭光,手持法物,雙足分踏蓮台。前排中央為觀音和大勢至菩薩,觀音手持淨瓶,戴化佛寶冠;大勢至手持經函,頂戴淨瓶寶冠;其左右為捧經冊的文殊和托如意的普賢菩薩。後排中央為戴五佛寶冠的彌勒菩薩和戴頭巾的地藏菩薩;左右有金剛藏菩薩和除蓋障菩薩。
 此圖為絹本設色,以紅色、白色和金色為主,配色大致亦考慮到對稱之安排。
