Suijaku Art - Suijaku Bijutsu

Japanese: 垂迹美術 - すいじゃくびじゅつ
Suijaku Art - Suijaku Bijutsu
Art based on the idea of ​​honji suijaku (→ honji suijaku theory), which holds that Indian Buddhas are the original form and Japanese gods are their manifestation. From the early Heian period, when the idea of ​​honji suijaku became widespread, sculptures and paintings such as suijaku statues and suijaku mandalas were produced on a grand scale. Sculptures include the "Sogyo Hachiman Statue" (by Kaikei, Kamakura period) at Todaiji Temple, and paintings include the "Sannogu Mandala" (late Kamakura period) at Baekje Temple and the "Kumano Honjibutsu Mandala" (late Kamakura period) at Shogoin Temple. Both paintings and sculptures are heavily influenced by Buddhist art in style, but some paintings show unique styles.

インドの仏を本地とし,日本の神をその垂迹とする本地垂迹の思想 (→本地垂迹説 ) を背景とする美術。本地垂迹の思想が広く行われるようになった平安時代初期から垂迹像,垂迹曼荼羅などが彫刻,絵画として盛大に制作された。彫刻では,東大寺蔵『僧形八幡神像』 (快慶作,鎌倉時代) など,絵画では百済寺蔵『山王宮曼荼羅』 (鎌倉時代末) ,聖護院蔵『熊野本地仏曼荼羅』 (鎌倉時代末) などの遺品がある。絵画も彫刻も様式的には仏教美術の影響を大きく受けているが,一部の絵画などには独自の画風を示すものもある。
