A painterly meditation on the Yakushi Triad: Yakushi Rurikō Nyorai at the centre, attended by Nikkō and Gakkō, the bodhisattvas of sunlight and moonlight. In the still interval between these two lights, this lapis light neither denies suffering nor offers easy consolation; it renders visible the quiet passage through which affliction may be transformed.
薬師瑠璃光如来を中心に日光菩薩と月光菩薩を従える形式の絵画的配置。 薬師瑠璃光如来は東方の浄瑠璃世界に関わる如来として、瑠璃のような光に よって病苦を救う存在と説明されます。
