興福寺彌勒佛坐像 運慶

日本

位於北圓堂,為該堂之主尊,兩側隨侍無著、世親菩薩像。據台座的墨書銘記載,承元二年(1208)重建北圓堂時,雕刻師運慶率領兒子和門下弟子數十人造像,其中此坐像為源慶、淨慶擔任製作。昭和九年(1934)整修之際,發現像內安奉發願文、寶篋印陀羅尼經、白檀木彌勒菩薩像、板雕五輪塔二枚、水晶珠等寶物。一九五一年指定為日本國寶。
 佛像軀幹由四材桂木接合,像刳空,雕眼,外表以漆繪金箔潤飾完成。右手屈臂,掌心向前,拇指和食指相捻呈輪狀,左手置於膝上,手指輕屈,結跏趺坐於八角形束腰須彌座上,座高116公分,裳裾垂落座前。面相端嚴,上眼瞼、嘴唇輪廓刻線明快,神采煥發。腰身內縮,雙膝伸張,體態優美勻整,予人結實纖秀之感。淺雕的襞褶,工整洗練,平穩流暢。身後為鏤空的舟形背光,刻飾八身飛天及花紋圖案,對稱又不失變化。此像為運慶晚年的圓熟作品,被列為鎌倉時代(1185~1333)雕刻最高峰之一。
