Samadhi of Contemplating the Buddha

White-character square seal

觀佛三昧 山田正平

日本

「三昧」,即將心定於一處之安定狀態。「觀佛三昧」,即一心觀想釋迦牟尼佛、阿彌陀佛等之相好、功德。
 此印為細白文,印中四字各依筆畫多寡,而安排占地寬窄位置。故「觀」字最大,「三」字最窄,呈現出疏密對比的趣味。字體似繆篆,但不拘泥規整篆法,有歪有斜。用刀亦不拘一法,有衝刀亦有切刀,隱含蒙童稚拙氣息,風格質樸,富有野趣。
 山田正平名正平,號一止、一止廬、一止道人,又號邵平、更生等。日本昭和時代(1926~1989)新瀉人。木村竹香次子,木村以刻印為業,自幼耳濡目染,曾於二十一、二十五歲時兩度至中國向吳昌碩及徐星州學習書畫、篆刻。著有《正氣印譜》、《栴檀二葉香印譜》、《羅漢印譜》、《正平陶瓷印譜》等,門人集編《一止廬印存》。
