Gangoji Temple: Medicine Buddha

Nutmeg wood

藥師佛立像

日本

此像約雕造於九世紀初,除螺髮、兩手腕外,從頭部、身軀至蓮台為榧木整材雕造,背面施以長方形內刳後嵌上背板。使用截半的粗圓木外層,為典型日本平安時代(794~1185)初期一木造技法。股間流瀉「Y」形般的衣紋,強調腿部之厚實,具有與唐招提寺的藥師佛立像共通樣式,被認為係隨中國唐代(618~907)鑑真大師一同渡日的匠師或是其指導下的工匠所作。一九五二年指定為日本國寶。
 佛右手施無畏印,左手托藥壺,袖口筆直垂下,雙足岔開挺立於蓮台上。頭部較小,粗眉細目,眼睛瞇成一細縫,目光犀利,緊閉雙唇,表情剛毅。寬肩厚胸,肘臂略微伸展,顯示身軀魁梧碩大的量感和厚度。衣紋以銳利快刀刻劃出流動般的大小波紋,並夾雜渦卷紋,流暢優美。身上無任何飾物,全面以素木修飾完成,予人簡明寫實之感。
