阿彌陀佛及聖眾來迎圖

日本

此圖以手結轉法輪印,結跏趺坐於蓮座上的阿彌陀佛為中心,其身後有頭光、身光二重圓相。包含兩位弟子在內,其周圍由七尊菩薩圍繞,後方跟隨二排八位奏樂菩薩,整體呈現阿彌陀佛與聖眾正面來迎的場面。繪製於十二世紀,現為日本重要文化財。
 七尊菩薩被認為是據《往生要集》臨終行儀所述,乃守護念佛行者的觀音、大勢至、彌勒、文殊、普賢、地藏及龍樹等諸菩薩,上方八位身形較小的奏樂菩薩則代表一切聖眾。畫面右下者為不動明王,左下是毗沙門天王,此二尊經常作為天台宗的護法神,源於比叡山延曆寺橫川中堂的脇侍,故得知此圖屬於天台宗派別的來迎圖。
 此作品採曼荼羅圖之配置方式,大勢至手持長莖蓮花之醒目持物,裝飾物以紅線勾勒輪廓和諸尊的身形表現等,被視為平安(794~1185)末期鎌倉(1185~1333)初期之作。
