Jogonin Temple: Amitabha Buddha and Bodhisattvas Welcoming the Deceased

Ink and color on silk

阿彌陀佛及聖眾來迎圖

日本

此幅為日本現存年代最早的斜向構圖掛軸來迎圖,繪製於十二世紀。阿彌陀佛印相異於一般的來迎印,大勢至菩薩亦非慣例的合掌之姿,仍保留在來迎圖形式化之前的樣式,故推測為日本平安時代(794~1185)後期較早的作品。右上角無題贊的痕跡,舊軸有室町天文十五年(1546)及江戶享保九年(1724)的整修題記。一九九七年指定為日本重要文化財 。
 畫中阿彌陀佛右腿盤屈、左腳垂踏於蓮台上,以手捧蓮花的觀音與結印的大勢至為前導,佛兩側推測係手持梵篋的文殊與合掌的普賢二菩薩,及手捧寶珠的地藏和合掌的龍樹二比丘。畫面左上方為伴隨的五尊奏樂音聲菩薩,從空中飄落樂器、花瓣,形成阿彌陀佛與聖眾乘雲來迎的殊勝場面。佛眉間放出白毫光,照射右下方松林間屋舍,屋內無描繪人物。
 雲彩和地面施以暈染,並以濃彩表現樹叢。佛的臉龐、眼瞼及各尊像豐滿的身軀輪廓分別以墨線和朱線描繪,衣服和背光裝飾碎金紋樣,容貌莊重,姿態優雅,畫風古拙,表現出來迎圖的早期風貌。
