National Treasure Hall

Statues of Bonten and Taishakuten

Important Cultural Properties

Dating to the Kamakura period (1185–1333), these wooden statues of Bonten and Taishakuten, depict Hindu gods that were incorporated into Buddhism as lords of the realms of rebirth. Bonten, holding a lotus flower, is based on the heavenly king Brahma. Taishakuten, wearing armor and holding a scroll, is based on Indra, god of the heavens, lightning, and war.

The statues are early thirteenth-century Japanese creations carved in imitation of twelfth-century (Song dynasty) Chinese models. Evidence of this is seen in the upturned shoe tips and scalloped robe folds. These statues were originally displayed alongside the principal image of the Shakyamuni Buddha in Kofukuji’s Western Golden Hall.

木造梵天·帝釋天立像

重要文化財產

這兩尊木像出自鐮倉時代（1185-1333），分別為梵天像和帝釋天像。兩者原本都是印度教裏的大神，進入佛教後成為了執掌輪回的主神。梵天手持蓮花，對應印度教的創世神。帝釋天身披鎧甲，手拿卷軸，對應印度教的雷神和戰神。

兩尊佛像均為13世紀早期日本匠人所作，模仿了12世紀中國宋朝的造像風格，這一點從翹起的鞋尖和波紋狀的衣褶便可見一斑。這對佛像原本供奉於興福寺西金堂內，安放在本尊佛釋迦牟尼像旁。
