五大明王像 勝覺

日本

又稱五大尊像。日本每年正月為祈願國家安泰,於宮中真言院舉行「後七日御修法」時使用。平安大治二年(1127)五大尊像與十二天像同時被燒毀,是年由長者勝覺以京都仁和寺圓堂後壁畫像為範本再繪製,共五幅,為日本真言密教東密五大明王像中,現存年代最早的彩色畫像。一九五二年指定為日本國寶。
 五大明王以結跏趺坐於瑟瑟座的不動明王為中心,其餘為金剛夜叉、降三世、軍荼利及大威德等諸明王。降三世明王左足踏大自在天頭部,右腳為烏摩妃伸掌撐托。大威德明王乘騎水牛,軍荼利與金剛夜叉明王則現忿怒相,右腳踩踏,左腳揚起,皆略微側身斜向,呈躍動姿態。
 明王大半為多面多臂,手持法器,體軀細短,帶圓形頭光,紋樣化的渦卷形火焰背光均擺向右邊,籠罩全身。上身披帔帛,下身著褲裙或獸皮裙。青色身軀施以綠色暈染,衣服色彩華麗,分別描繪有丹、白綠和金等顏色,設色濃密,頗為協調。衣服以細緻的碎金紋樣裝飾,衣紋亦以碎金勾描,纖細巧緻,表現平安時代(794~1185)後期的密教風格。
