平等院は５日までに、鳳凰堂の扉に描かれた国内最古の大和絵「日想観図」（国宝）を報道陣に公開した。１０５３年の鳳凰堂建立以来、一般の目に触れるのは初めて。６日から12月14日まで一般公開する。
　日想観図は、鳳凰堂中堂の西扉左右２面に描かれた大和絵（各縦約２・６メートル、横約１・２メートル）。
　題材の「日想観」は、極楽往生のための瞑想めいそう法の一つ。山の仏堂にいる高貴な女性が、海に沈みゆく夕日に向かって合掌する姿が描かれている。ただ劣化が激しく肉眼ではほとんどの絵が確認できないため、復元図を並べて展示する。
　本尊阿弥陀如来坐像の背後にあるため取り外せなかったが、今年９月に始まった鳳凰堂の修理に伴い堂外に出された。
　復元図を描いた日本画家の荒木金沢美術工芸大准教授によると、最近の調査で、背景の山に四つの滝があることが判明。描かれた海や島などから、神戸市中央区の観光名所「布引ぬのびきの滝」の可能性があるという。
　荒木氏は「復元を通じ先人の持つ繊細な技術に尊敬の念を抱いた。扉絵と見比べながら平安の息遣いを感じて」と話し、秋の観光シーズンで訪れる多くの人に楽しんでほしいと期待を込めた。
　古の先人の思いを感じるためにも、ぜひ、訪れて見てみたいものですね。
