| Research Abstract |
This research considered the succession and the transformation of an iconographic image in the Insei era Buddhist paintings through some works, the Shaka Nyorai of the Jingo-ji, the eleven-headed Kannon of the Nara National Museum, the Fugen Bosatsu of the Bujyo-ji, and the Kokuzo Bosatsu of the Tokyo National Museum. Each of these works is maintaining the old style at many forms of iconographic image details, and it was thought that the original drawing image of former age was inherited well.
Among them the sacred image of the Tokyo National Museum shows directly the aspect of a plastic transformation of the Insei era Buddhist paintings compared with the Daigo-ji work of the Kamakura period based on the same iconographic image transferring the original drawing comparatively faithfully. In the Tokyo National Museum image some forms common to the Insei era Buddhist paintings which aimed at tranquil or ornament nature are accepted. The sense of color preferring gold, silver, and cold colors can also be referred to as reflecting of this time.
Although the succession and the transformation of an iconographic image is conjectured to originate in the intention of two main patrons of the Insei era Buddhist paintings, the temple and the Imperial Court, it has been future subject about those systematic understanding.
