圓勢

佛像雕刻師 雕塑卷

生年不詳,卒於一一三四年。日本平安時代(794~1185)後期圓派佛像雕刻師。活躍於京都一帶。長勢之弟子,長圓、賢圓之父。因名字帶有「圓」字,故稱為圓派。圓勢造像時期正值退位的白河上皇(1072~1086在位)於京都大興寺院之隆盛期,因與皇族關係密切,故圓派幾乎承包皇室主持的雕造佛像工事。
 永保三年(1083)以法勝寺塔等之造像而獲法橋僧位,康和三年(1101)以鳥羽證金剛院之造像而獲法眼僧位,翌年以尊勝寺講堂之造像而晉升法印僧位。主要事蹟有承德二年(1098)造祇園多寶塔五佛像;嘉承二年(1107)造丈六五大尊像;永久二年(1114)公卿藤原忠實發願造丈六大威德像及白河泉殿九體阿彌陀堂之造像;大治四年(1129)待賢門院御產之祈願造像等。
 所雕刻的佛像碩大,身軀圓潤,刻工精緻,具穩健溫和作風。傳世作品有與長圓合作的京都仁和寺藥師佛坐像,現為日本國寶。
