Daisenji Temple: Lotus Sutra Mandala

Ink and color on silk

法華經曼荼羅圖

日本

此圖為日本天台宗修法華經法之主尊像。據《妙法蓮華經》卷四〈見寶塔品〉記載,釋尊於靈鷲山說《法華經》時,多寶佛讚歎釋尊說法,為證明其內容真實不虛,寶塔從地踊現,多寶佛於塔中邀請釋尊入塔內並坐,作品即描繪此場景。
 「法華經曼荼羅」的名稱,最早出現於天台僧圓仁的《日本國承和五年入唐求法目錄》,而實際被使用於十一世紀末左右。此圖繪製於十四世紀。一九○一年指定為日本重要文化財。
 圖中央第一院八葉蓮花中央寶塔內獅子座上,多寶佛與釋尊並坐,一足垂下,一足盤屈,作對稱坐姿,多寶佛手結智拳印,蓮瓣上有八大菩薩,四隅為四大弟子。外圈第二院配置十六尊菩薩;最外圈第三院描繪明王、天部尊像及密教法具。構圖繁複,緊湊細密,對稱勻整,色調穩重,表現鎌倉時代(1185~1333)密教繪畫的風采。
