Introduction: 

The lecture will explore the "hooded monk" imagery through both its associations with the bodhisattva Kitigatbha 地藏 and the meditation monk 禪僧.  The hooded Kitigarbha is a popular Iconography that appeared in both Northwestern and Southwestern Chinese Buddhist cave art.  The presentation will clarify the relationship between the hooded Kitigarbha and the meditation monk to trace the history of the head covering and its impact on non-Buddhist culture in East Asia. 

「風帽地藏」是中國西北和西南地區佛教石窟藝術中常見的畫像類型。講座將通過考察「風帽地藏」與菩薩形地藏、禪僧之間的關聯性以探究其形象意藴。講座將在梳理「風帽地藏」與「禪僧」關係的基礎上,追溯巾帽頭蓋物的歷史、緣由及其對東亞非佛教文化的影響。
