Kojimadera Temple: Diamond Realm Mandala

兩界曼荼羅圖

日本

又稱子島曼荼羅。此作共二幅,為紺地綾本金銀泥繪,與日本京都神護寺的高雄兩界曼荼羅圖並稱為大作。兩界曼荼羅係胎藏界、金剛界曼荼羅圖之總稱,描繪密教兩個不同的體系。作品繪製於十至十一世紀。一九五三年指定為日本國寶。
 據奈良子島寺傳記載,該寺中興之祖真興於平安長保年間(999~1004),因加持一條天皇(986~1011在位)病癒有功,得宮中賞賜此兩界曼荼羅圖,師飛行空中攜回寺院,故又稱飛行曼荼羅,因傳入子島寺而通稱子島曼荼羅。
 二圖各以七張紺色細綾錦織紋地黏接成大畫面,以金銀泥描繪,線條綿密細膩,再塗繪濃淡銀泥,色彩以金泥為主。
 諸尊衣服、背光、台座蓮瓣等皆施以精緻紋樣,衣褶以細線反復勾勒,表現立體感,別具特色。尊像面貌略微平板,然與單純的地色對比之下,圖案顯得明晰,為裝飾性豐富的曼荼羅。
 畫面保存完好,將平安時代(794~1185)的華麗風格流傳至今。
