Embroidery of the Buddha Teaching the Dharma at Vulture Peak

Silk

刺繡釋迦牟尼佛說法圖

中國

圖表現釋迦牟尼佛在印度靈鷲山開演《妙法蓮華經》的勝會。江戶寬永十二年(1635)修復時已改成裝裱迄今,原為京都勸修寺留傳之寶物,故以「勸修寺繡帳」著稱,並與奈良中宮寺天壽國繡帳同列為日本古代刺繡之雙璧。一說是日本奈良時代(710~794)所作,但全作以中國傳統鎖繡為主,具有唐代(618~907)敦煌繡佛作品風格,推測係唐時攜至日本之作。一九五二年指定為日本國寶。
 中央主尊釋迦牟尼佛身著紅色袒右袈裟,倚坐於獅子座上,頂上懸垂寶珠華蓋。佛左右為諸菩薩,下方是十大弟子及供養人,上方兩側為乘雲的伎樂天人,上端則為乘騎鳳凰飛行的仙人,場面盛大,構圖勻稱。以淡黃色質厚平織絹布為地,使用赤、紫、藍、綠、茶等數十種絲線,以鎖繡為主,沿圖樣的輪廓以回旋狀繡進,表現微妙的立體感,背景小方形織紋亦呈現出細密的質感。佛面頰、胸部呈同心圓狀,衣服亦以波紋和漩渦紋表現,乃鎖繡技法所產生的量感。
 佛的螺髮、台座,菩薩的寶冠、衣紋、飾物及寶瓶等,均摻雜相良繡之技法。圖樣與配色繁複,針法活潑,充分展現絹線的光澤,精巧華麗。
