圓覺寺銅鐘 物部國光

日本神奈川鎌倉

位於日本神奈川縣鎌倉市圓覺寺鐘樓。鎌倉正安三年(1301),鎌倉幕府第九代執政者北條貞時為祈願國家、鎌倉幕府及北條家族之繁榮昌盛而鑄造。以北條貞時為主,同時有一千五百餘位信眾捐獻,共同完成此鎌倉最大口銅鐘。通高259公分,口徑寬142公分,口沿厚14.8公分。由當時神奈川圓覺寺住持中國僧人西澗子曇撰寫銘文,鑄造匠師物部國光所作。一九五三年指定為日本國寶。
 頂端作龍形鈕,龍頸上飾火焰寶珠,周緣圍繞聯珠紋。上端鐘頂厚實,肩部微鼓,鐘身修長,下緣微展。上環帶四面飾流雲紋,下環帶為卷草紋。鐘身表面以橫、豎細凸弦紋框成四區乳釘紋廓,廓內鑄六列六行乳釘紋。乳釘紋廓下方四區皆陰鑄銘文,其中第二、四區以雙鉤體直書「皇帝萬歲/重臣千秋」、「風調雨順/國泰民安」。下方撞座緣飾八片蓮瓣紋,內有九顆蓮子,細緻精巧。
 此鐘展現鎌倉時代(1185~1333)匠師的精湛技巧及藝術水平,與神奈川建長寺梵鐘同為關東地區(今東京及其鄰縣一帶)梵鐘的代表作
 。
