Engakuji Temple: Sitting Mat of Master Wuxue Zuyuan
Silk
刺繡坐具
中國
坐具為比丘六物之一，坐臥時敷於地上或臥具上方之長方形布。此坐具為日本鎌倉圓覺寺開山祖師無學祖元之遺物，至今仍慎重地傳存著。其製作方法乃遵循佛的法衣規制，將受供養的各種布帛拼湊縫綴而成。
坐具呈長方形，由繒帛、緞子拼縫製成，色彩鮮明生動，在縫合的每格方塊中加繡花卉圖案，呈現花邊狀的刺繡作品。每瓣花葉下以金銀箔勾邊，透過花邊的編織孔可看見金銀色的耀眼光澤，具裝飾效果，為此繡作之特色。外圍周邊以深底色配淺色卷草紋樣。整體布局勻細，邊飾別致，做工精細。此技法在元代（1271～1368）流傳至日本，可見中國刺繡藝術傳播之廣泛。
