慈尊院彌勒佛坐像

日本

位於日本和歌山縣伊都郡九度山町慈尊院彌勒堂。慈尊院創建於平安天長十一年(834),自古以來允許女性參詣,又稱為「女人高野」,並以空海之母阿刀氏的廟所(今彌勒堂)而著稱。該像據後補之裳內銘文「寬平四年(892)歲次壬子五月十九日造佛事已了」,得知其造像紀年。因以祕佛相傳至今,故佛像、圓形大背光及八重蓮花座皆保存完好,為平安時代(794~1185)前期佛像傑作之一。一九六三年指定為日本國寶。
 佛像高91公分,背光高154公分,蓮座高77公分,其頭部、體軀及雙足皆以檜木整材雕出,像刳空,左右手腕與裙襬則為另材雕刻。著袒右袈裟,右覆偏衫,右手施無畏印,左手結與願印,結跏趺坐。弓形雙眉相連,眼瞼微開,向下俯視,雙耳豐厚垂向外側,五官大,表情沉穩,狀似冥思。體軀厚實,衣紋粗大,呈現量感。黃色系肌膚、朱彩衣服,下襬與衣紋以金線鑲邊,背光及台座蓮瓣繪有龜甲形、蔓草等彩色紋樣,成為研究平安時代初期造像之重要作品。
