教王護國寺梵天帝釋天像

日本

位於講堂。係空海依仁明天皇(833~850在位)之御願造像,以中國唐代(618~907)請回的圖像經典為基礎,於承和六年(839)雕造真言密教群像二十一尊,形成立體曼荼羅。此二像即為其中二軀,安置於講堂須彌壇兩端,梵天位於東端,帝釋天在西端,作為守護神。一九五四年指定為日本國寶。
 二像皆由槙木整材雕出,以乾漆塑形,外表施加彩色。梵天四面四臂,正面有三眼,安坐於由四隻鵝所支撐的蓮花座上。右主臂垂下,五指張開,餘三臂分持蓮苞、白拂及法器。肩寬厚胸,體軀健碩,袒右肩。身著帔帛、下裳及纏腰布,衣紋似流水般洋溢著律動感,受唐代雕刻的影響,而面相和胸部的表現則更為明快,被視為密教雕像在日本化之前的異國格調。
 帝釋天一面二臂,額頭正中縱刻第三眼,左足垂放,盤右腳坐於象背上。頭束高髻,穿筒袖護臂和鰭袖上衣,外披胸甲,著下裙。左手握拳置於腰部,右手執獨股杵,予人威嚴奧秘之感,具密教雕像的特徵。
