Saimyoji Temple Three-Story Pagoda (interior)

西明寺三重塔

日本滋賀犬上

位於日本滋賀縣犬上郡甲良町西明寺。約創建於鎌倉時代後期。為飛驒(今岐阜)巨匠所建,典型的和樣塔,是鎌倉(1185~1333)至室町(1392~1573)時代塔的代表範例之一。一九五二年指定為日本國寶。
 該塔為方形三層樓閣式木塔,通高19.7公尺,面闊、進深皆三間,頂鋪檜皮。檐下有椽及斗栱,斗栱三跳。第一層副階周匝,第二、三層設平座欄杆。第一層的塔身最高,往上逐層縮短。出檐深遠,檐角起翹。
 第一層塔內須彌座上供奉大日如來坐像,四天柱和門扉彩畫佛傳圖;四周壁面描繪法華經變相、菩薩像、佛具、花鳥紋等絢爛華麗的佛畫圖案,作為莊嚴金剛界曼荼羅的世界,可惜已明顯剝落。其壁畫是大和繪畫系巨勢派畫師於漆地以純度高的礦物顏料所繪製。
