Renge Sanmaiin Temple: Amitabha Buddha Triad

Ink and color on silk

阿彌陀佛三尊像

日本

據圖背面題記所載,得知此畫作為日本淨土宗開山祖師法然上人獻給高野山蓮華三昧院明遍上人之寶物。繪製於十二世紀,是鎌倉時代(1185~1333)佛畫之名作。平安時代(794~1185)末期,高野山彌陀信仰最為興盛,山上多處成立念佛所,該院即為其中之一。推測此圖為祈願往生阿彌陀佛淨土觀想之主尊而繪製,乃融合阿彌陀佛淨土圖和阿彌陀佛來迎圖,作正面構圖。一九五二年指定為日本國寶。
 作品以暗色為背景,阿彌陀佛三尊像似懸浮於蓮池上空,後方拖曳彩雲,顯現來迎之勢。主尊阿彌陀佛結跏趺坐於蓮座上,結說法印,大勢至、觀音菩薩二脇侍坐於兩旁,皆側身朝向主尊,姿態相對。主尊頂上現華蓋,前方盛開的蓮花上有六角台,台上放置金銅製的華籠、香爐及駐足的三隻瑞鳥。虛空中花瓣冉冉飄落,與寶池中紅色鮮豔蓮花相輝映。像身、身光及蓮座,均以黃色塗繪,輪廓以朱色勾描,仿奈良時代(710~794)古風。
