Seiryoji Temple: Amitabha Buddha Triad

Cypress wood

阿彌陀佛及脇侍像

日本

據《菅家文草》記載,此三尊像為日本嵯峨天皇(809~823在位)之子河原左大臣源融臨終前祈願往生淨土而作,其歿世後一週年完成。由檜木整材雕刻,從頭後部與體軀背面分別內刳後再嵌上蓋板,外表施以漆繪金箔,現藏於該寺靈寶館。一九九一年指定為日本國寶。
 此三像之主尊阿彌陀佛高178.2公分,右脇侍大勢至菩薩,高168.2公分,左脇侍觀音菩薩,高165.7公分。皆臉形較長,頭部方正,寬肩厚胸,而頸部較短,保有九世紀末期佛像樣式,其莊重肅穆的特質,更加強其厚實感。懸裳覆於台座,垂幔紋層次分明,左右對稱,與佛身上的衣紋處理方式相同,線條清晰。
 阿彌陀佛的背光有小尊千佛及十三尊化佛;菩薩的頭光、腕釧、胸飾、寶冠上均刻有精緻的吉祥圖案。阿彌陀佛手結禪定印,屬日本之古例;二脇侍坐於左右,結特殊之印相,甚為少見,為當時受密教影響的例證。
