Camphor wood

大黑天像

日本

該像製於十二世紀,據《大黑天神法》之記載刻製。其左肩背袋,右足踏出,此姿態是日本大黑天造像中年代最早的形象,現為日本重要文化財。據記載,平安康治二年(1143)該像與文殊一起供奉於福岡觀世音寺齋堂,被視為食廚之神。大黑天又稱摩訶迦羅天,為佛教的守護神,起源於印度的戰鬥神,為對抗邪鬼,一般多作忿怒武裝形象,今具有財福神之性格。
 此像由樟木整材雕出,像內不刳空,依古式技法雕刻。頂戴襆頭,具中國唐風的裝束;額頭正中刻劃皺紋,蹙眉,閉唇,兩眼怒視,表情嚴肅,身軀微僂,右手握拳置於腰際,左手緊握布袋,態度沉穩,承襲日本古來的武神形象。身穿寬衣、褲子,肩膀圍上披風,腰部繫帶,鞋尖上翹,衣紋淺雕,簡潔明快。台座原為岩台,大正二年(1913)整修時改成荷葉台座。
