Amitabha Buddha Mandala

Rosewood

阿彌陀曼荼羅圖

中國

此曼荼羅據《八大菩薩曼荼羅經》刻製,像容則沿襲《胎藏圖像》及現圖曼荼羅系統,整體構思係基於不空譯的《無量壽如來修觀行供養儀軌》。背面書有日本平安應和三年(963)之銘文及尊名,被認為是後世所記。根據菩薩的面貌、水瓶的形狀及底紋等特色,被視為中國唐代(618~907)作品。其用途一說為求往生阿彌陀淨土,而作為印佛用。一九六六年指定為日本重要文化財。
 此曼荼羅陽刻於檀木板上,圖中央為阿彌陀佛,頭戴半圓形三層寶冠,手結定印,結跏趺坐。其周圍浮雕八大菩薩,由上而下依順時鐘方向,依序為虛空藏、地藏、觀音、彌勒、除蓋障、文殊、金剛手及普賢。襯底為方格小花,四隅安置寶瓶,四周邊框以菱形寶相花紋連接。整體造型採對稱方式排列,設計精巧,刻劃生動,表現出精湛之刀法。
