平等院鳳凰堂壁畫

日本

位於日本京都宇治平等院,原為鳳凰堂中堂內四周的板扉、板壁彩繪,共十四面,現安置於平等院鳳翔館。據《佛說觀無量壽經》描繪上品上生至下品下生九階段的九品來迎圖及十六觀中的日想觀圖,每幅題記書有該經文。除四對扉畫為該寺創建時期平安天喜元年(1053)所描繪外,其餘圖像為鎌倉時代(1185~1333)或江戶時代(1615~1868)所作。雖已嚴重破損,但中品上生和下品上生二幅保存完好。為日本現存年代最早具大和繪畫風的九品來迎圖。一九七二年指定為日本國寶。
 圖中阿彌陀佛與奏樂菩薩聖眾越過連綿的山巒,自山的尾端緩緩下來,盛裝隆重迎接往生者。菩薩吹奏各種樂器,姿態優雅,帔帛飄舉,動感十足。佛及菩薩的肌膚和衣著描繪紅色線,衣著以細密的輪廓勾勒,並施加碎金裝飾,雖已變色、剝落,但精緻的技法與佛菩薩溫和表情,顯示成熟的和風佛畫。
 畫面上九品來迎的場面比例較小,大部分為日本風景,尤其以四季變化、山水景物作為背景,線描自然,色彩調和。可看出中國傳入的唐繪自然景物之畫風,轉移到日本大和繪的過渡時期,成為研究十一世紀大和繪之史料。
