Toshodaiji Temple Golden Hall: Medicine Buddha

Cypress wood

唐招提寺藥師佛立像

日本

位於金堂,主尊盧舍那佛坐像之左側。製作年代不詳,相傳是鑑真的弟子如寶於師圓寂後所作;另據昭和四十七年(1972)整修時,發現左手掌有三枚古錢,其中一枚為平安延曆十五年(796)鑄的「隆平永寶」,故推論製於八世紀末至九世紀初,為平安時代(794~1185)以前不持藥壺的古式藥師佛像。一九五二年指定為日本國寶。
 該像由整塊檜木雕造,胳膊前半則另外刻製,背面內刳,像高336.5公分。以木心乾漆技法造像,先以木材完成大體形狀後,外表以漆繪貼上幾重麻布,再塗上木屑漆作細部塑形,並施加金箔。臉龐圓潤,眉目修長飽滿,閉嘴厚唇,具平安初期雕刻特徵。內著僧祇支,袈裟下襬輕垂,腹前至股間形成「Y」形衣紋線;右手屈臂掌心向前,拇指與食指輕拈,左手垂下中指微揚,直立於高120.8公分的蓮台上。身後帶二重圓相背光,高495.1公分,周緣貼飾紋樣。
 造像敷彩和金箔部分雖已剝落,仍不失其莊嚴富麗,與金堂內的盧舍那佛坐像和千手觀音菩薩立像同樣是豐滿的中國唐朝(618~907)樣式的造型,以堂皇厚實的身軀,強調其量感及細部的裝飾性,為其特徵。
