Hogonji Temple: Embroidery of Amitabha Buddha
Silk
刺繡阿彌陀佛來迎圖
日本
刺繡佛菩薩的圖像，又稱繡佛、繡像、繡帳。印度、西域等地自古即有刺繡佛像，約於苻秦時代（351～394）傳入中國，至南朝齊（479～502）以後，繡像之風盛行，並傳至日本。圖以平織絹帛為地，採多種彩線繡成，表現佛菩薩來迎的場面。一九○○年指定為日本重要文化財。
主尊阿彌陀佛及二脇侍菩薩皆立於祥雲上。阿彌陀佛略微側身作來迎狀，頭部放出毫光。畫面右前方菩薩手捧蓮花，後者合掌作禮，呈迎接往生者之姿。上方三排橫列圓相分別繡入二十五位菩薩之梵字，四周邊框圓相中則是阿彌陀佛四十八願之梵字。針法簡練，色調柔和，繡面細緻，纖毫畢現，富有質感。
