康慶

佛像雕刻師 雕塑卷

生卒年不詳。日本平安(794~1185)末期鎌倉(1185~1333)初期活躍於奈良一帶的佛像雕刻師。榮獲法橋僧位、法眼僧位。康朝之弟子,運慶之父,快慶之師。最早之造像有鎌倉仁平二年(1152)的吉祥天像。治承元年(1177)從事京都蓮華王院五重塔之造像。治承四年,修復平重衡武將燒毀的奈良東大寺與興福寺等尊像。文治五年(1189)主持興福寺南圓堂之造像工事。
 建久六年(1195)率領門下弟子運慶、快慶從事東大寺金堂脇侍菩薩及四天王像之雕造,於短時間內完成巨大尊像,皆歸功於定朝以來設立的佛像製作工房,即佛像雕刻師分業制度。由於一連串的復興造像功績而獲獎賞,但讓予運慶。康慶學習奈良時代(710~794)之古典雕刻,嘗試新的寫實性作品風格,為慶派奠定基礎。
 傳世作品有興福寺南圓堂主尊不空●(上四+下絹)索觀音菩薩像、四天王像、法相宗六祖像,皆為日本國寶。其中法相宗六祖像是隨侍不空●(上四+下絹)索觀音菩薩之法相宗六位高僧之一,身著僧衣,衣褶深刻,刀法銳利,富有神韻,為鎌倉時代寫實性肖像雕刻之先驅。
