建長寺銅鐘 物部重光

日本神奈川鎌倉

位於日本神奈川縣鎌倉市建長寺鐘樓。鎌倉建長七年(1255),鎌倉幕府第五代執政者北條時賴為祈願國家安泰,命當時著名的鑄造匠師物部重光所作。通高210.6公分,口徑125.5公分。鐘身二區陽鑄銘文,乃神奈川建長寺開山祖師蘭溪道隆所撰。中有「雲斂霏開兮樓/觀百尺嵐敷翠掃兮勢壓諸方」字句,文辭優美。書風襲自中國宋代(960~1279),筆力遒勁,氣魄雄偉,從中可窺見其創寺時的嚴峻禪風。一九五三年指定為日本國寶。
 頂端鐘鈕由二龍首相連組成,便於懸掛。龍首鬃毛上揚,頂置火焰寶珠。鐘頂低平,鐘身向下漸寬,底部圓圈平直。上下環帶四邊分別鑄流雲紋和卷草紋樣。鐘身上部四區方形內飾圓柱形乳釘紋,均作五列七行排列,簡樸素雅。鐘身下部圓形撞座位置稍高,緣飾八片蓮瓣紋,圓內飾十七顆蓮子。下部口沿飾三道凸弦紋,乃平安時代(794~1185)鑄鐘之特徵。
 此鐘為該寺創建時的貴重遺品,是鎌倉時代(1185~1333)之代表作,與神奈川圓覺寺梵鐘合稱雙璧。
