Horyuji Temple Hall of Dreams
Horyuji Temple Hall of Dreams (interior)
法隆寺夢殿
日本奈良
位於日本奈良縣生駒郡斑鳩町法隆寺，東院之正堂，是日本最古的八角圓堂。奈良天平十一年（739）僧行信建立，鎌倉寬喜二年（1230）重修。一九五一年指定為日本國寶。
該殿建於二層台基上，單檐八角攢尖頂，頂鋪筒板瓦。四面闢板門，柱子呈八角形，柱間設直櫺窗。周設欄杆，台基四面設垂帶踏跺。殿頂上置有舍利瓶形的金銅露盤，並綴以華蓋、寶珠等裝飾，刻工精巧。該殿雖然更換部分建材，仍沿襲創建時的樣式，是奈良時代（710～794）典型的八角圓堂，與奈良榮山寺八角堂同為古建築之傑作。
殿內設凝灰岩構築的八角二重須彌座，中央廚子供奉與聖德太子等身的觀音菩薩立像，兩側為奈良時代後半期行信僧都坐像及平安時代（794～1185）初期道詮律師坐像，現皆為日本國寶。
