Todaiji Temple: Sudhana
Ink and color on silk
善財童子像
日本
描繪善財求道參詣的圖像極多，此幅為單尊像，甚為少見。繪製於十四世紀。據中國唐代（618～907）實叉難陀譯《大方廣佛華嚴經》卷六十八〈入法界品〉記載，善財童子為福城長者之子，出生時家中珍寶自然湧現，故名為善財；因受文殊菩薩的指導，歷訪南方諸善知識，最後證入普賢菩薩的無生法界，而盡見諸法空相。
圖中善財童子帶圓形頭光，略微彎腰前傾，合掌立於南海岩上。頭上紮兩撮丫髻，臉龐豐潤，額寬，眼瞳圓溜清澈，為其特徵。身材嬌小玲瓏，披戴珊瑚、寶珠、金沙等飾物，產生光彩燦爛效果。身上飾物和衣服的紋樣，多用金泥塗繪，施以朱、群青、綠青等明亮色彩，顯示其特殊畫風。其造型推測受韓國高麗（918～1392）佛畫的影響。
