Kabusanji Temple: Life of the Buddha - Parinirvana
Ink and color on silk
涅槃經變相
日本
此圖中央描繪佛涅槃，周圍以較小比例描繪佛涅槃前後的七項事蹟。此表現形式推測係受日本明惠上人的《涅槃講式》內容所觸發。原為大阪神峰山寺收藏，現為廣島耕三寺寶物。繪製於十三世紀。一九一二年指定為日本重要文化財。
圖中佛陀右脇而臥，屈肱而枕，側臥於林間台座上。諸菩薩、弟子、金剛力士、民眾等環護四周，表情悲切。群集於前方的鳥獸亦低鳴哀號，樹上開出白色花朵，以表哀思。圖左上角為純陀最後供養佛陀，上方中央是臨終教誡，右上角為佛最後說法；右邊緣稍下處為佛陀金棺不動，其上是金棺自行繞城七匝；左邊緣稍上為荼毗，其下是八王分舍利。每個場景雖有題記，但大多難以辨識。作品筆法細膩，色調柔和淡雅。
