摘要
Few monuments of Heian sculpture have evoked as much controversy as the Ninna-ji Amida Triad. In addition to its aesthetic merit and the interest of its historical situation, this monument is an extremely important exemplification of the conservative "orthodox" style of Heian sculpture. In this paper I should like first to present a detailed analysis of the historical, iconographical, technical and stylistic issues connected with the Ninna-ji Amida Triad. Following this I shall survey the evolution of the orthodox style from the eighth through the tenth century in order to place the triad in its proper historical milieu. Not only will this survey have specific relevance to the Ninna-ji Triad, but it also should be helpful in clarifying the nature of certain important stylistic developments in Heian sculpture.
