Toji Temple: Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva with Brahma and Sakra

Sandalwood

聖觀音菩薩及梵天帝釋天像

日本

此三尊像雕造於十三世紀。曾供奉於日本宮中仁壽殿,其中聖觀音菩薩為觀音供法會的主尊,因曾安置於清涼殿二間,故又稱二間觀音。其後,後醍醐天皇(1318~1339在位)遷行吉野時攜出宮中,室町明德四年(1393)移至京都教王護國寺,明治十六年(1883)之後聖觀音菩薩成為寺中灌頂院每年正月舉行後七日御修法觀音供法會之主尊。一九五九年指定為日本重要文化財。
 此三像皆由白檀木整材雕造,僅頭髮、眼睛及嘴唇等施加彩色,衣服描繪碎金紋樣外,其餘以素木潤飾完成。以手執蓮莖的聖觀音菩薩為中心,左脇侍為右手握銅製團扇的梵天,右脇侍係三眼、左手持獨股杵的帝釋天,均立於束腰蓮台上。主尊聖觀音像高25公分,二脇侍均高21.7公分。三像皆面相豐圓,表情端莊,衣著纖細華麗,皆束高髻,冠飾透雕。尤其是主尊聖觀音菩薩身前佩項圈,長串瓔珞於腹前交叉穿環而下,及至台座蓮瓣亦掛滿飾物,身後帶有金銅製的透雕背光。整體看來,包含白檀製作的台座,皆保存完好。
