Diamond Sutra Postscript
Ink on paper
金剛經 近衛家熙
日本
近衛家熙崇佛心深厚，並受母親影響，以寫經為日課，凡遇先考妣之忌日，即齋戒敬虔書寫，以祈冥福，或書以奉獻寺院，故存世的經數相當多。此本即其中之一。圖版為發願文，是一般寫經圓滿、修善作福之後，告白發願意趣之文辭，希望將此抄經功德迴轉給一切眾生，能夠離苦得樂、同生淨土。
此卷書寫精緻秀麗，點畫起止一絲不苟，結體又端正有法度，可知近衛家熙之書學深植於唐代（618～907）楷法，故能為此精謹秀麗的端楷。雖結體略扁，但卻造就了字間疏朗的章法，增添作品之秀逸。
近衛家熙法名真覺，號豫樂院，別號吾樂軒、昭昭堂主人、虛舟子，為日本江戶時代（1615～1868）中期公卿、書法家、僧人，被稱為當時假名擅書名家之一。
參考釋文：發願文／稽首三界尊歸命十方佛我今發弘願／持此金剛經上報四重恩下濟三途苦／若有見聞者悉發菩提心盡此一報身／同生極樂國／正德二年歲次壬辰十二月十七日 從一位家熙敬書
