日本飞鸟大佛衣着样式考辨

Textual Research on the Dress Style of Japanese Flying Bird Buddha

飞鸟寺安居院的飞鸟大佛被认为是日本现存年代明确的最早佛像,又是记载中止利佛师的作品,在镰仓建久七年(1196年)的火灾中被烧毁,仅存头部和手,后经修复。从造像细节来看,与同为止利佛师造的法隆寺金堂释迦像比较,仍能看出二者的相似性。飞鸟大佛呈现的衣着样式,说明中国的“南式佛装造像带”最迟在7世纪初已东延至日本,使得日本现存较早的佛像受到源自南朝的深刻影响。

The Flying Bird Buddha in the Anjuku of Asuka-dera is considered to be the earliest Buddha statue in existence in Japan.It is also a record of the works of Master Zhili.It was burned down in the fire of Kamakura for Jianjiu seventh year(1196).Only the head and hands were left,and then repaired.Judging from the details of the statues while comparing with the same parts of the Sakyamuni statue of the Horyuji Temple,which can still be seen that the producers of the two works are the same person,that is,the Mater Zhili.The clothing style of the Flying Birds Buddha at least shows that China’s“Southern Buddha Costume Belt”has passed to Japan at the very beginning of the 7th century,making the existing Buddha statues in Japan deeply influenced by the Southern Dynasty.
