Byodoin Temple Phoenix Hall: Wooden Canopy

平等院木華蓋

日本京都宇治

位於日本京都府宇治市平等院鳳凰堂,懸掛於中堂天花板。由外方內圓雙重結構組合而成,是日本現存最富麗的華蓋實例,據說係名匠定朝指導製作,堪稱為平安時代(794~1185)後期之代表作,與主尊阿彌陀佛坐像同是鳳凰堂於天喜元年(1053)完成時的珍貴作品。一九五六年指定為日本國寶。
 方形華蓋大小與須彌壇近乎相同,前後長4.87公尺,左右寬4.36公尺,從梁上及天花板橫木十六個點處垂吊,以天花板為基部,四面垂下鏤雕寶相花紋之寶簾,表面以髹漆、彩繪及螺鈿等裝飾。在寶簾上留有鐵環和銅線,推測此處原掛有寶網或垂飾之物。中央華蓋呈花形,直徑2.94公尺,通體塗漆、貼金箔,中心鑲嵌八瓣花形銅鏡,周圍布滿鏤空的寶相花紋,每片刻飾八葉蓮瓣紋,外周緣以八葉垂板相連。此華蓋與天花板同形式,和佛殿構成一體,瑰麗精緻。
