Nisonin Temple: Master Honen

法然上人像 詫間法眼
日本
此圖為日本現存最早的淨土宗開山祖師法然上人肖像畫，人像充滿整個畫面，頗具量感，為古樣式。繪製於十三世紀。一九三九年指定為日本重要文化財。
據《圓光大師行狀圖畫翼贊》卷五十記載，傳說皈依法然的九條兼實，因不被允許描繪其師肖像，故令畫家詫間法眼於法然沐浴後伸長雙足輕鬆舒解時，暗地描繪，當法然警覺到時，立刻把伸出的腳縮進來，即為圖中的姿態，此造型自古以來有「足曳御影」之名。
圖中法然臉龐圓潤，身軀稍微前傾，目光凝視右方，手持念珠之坐姿，充分傳達其性格沉穩，氣度寬宏風貌，被作為後世畫像之摹本。
另外，像前邊放置布帛包裹之佛具或經典，為此畫像之特色。
