介绍（中）	这幅画描绘了一幅罕见的日本绘画描绘的药师佛雅库什（梵语：Bhaisajyaguru），这是一种在日本通过雕塑而闻名的图像。通常被称为雅库什三合会，中心佛有两名随从：太阳的菩萨Nikkō（Suryaprabha）（右边）和月亮的菩萨Gakkō。在这里，雅库什作为崇拜的中心人物，其体型明显大于菩萨。他一只手拿着一个小药瓶，另一只手举着一种罕见的"无惧"（abhaya varada）手印，这两种手印都表明他是药佛。菩萨装饰华丽，手持杖，杖尖托起太阳和月亮虽然雅库什也以贝丽尔的光辉而闻名，在这幅画中，他经常被描绘成印度和西藏的蓝色皮肤，但他的金色皮肤反映了中国的标准，也是佛教从中国通过韩国传播到日本的一个例子。屋久氏于公元七世纪传入日本，至今仍与死亡纪念馆有关，如"十三佛"纪念馆，屋久氏是死后第四十九天的神。
介绍（英）	This painting depicts a rare Japanese painted depiction of Yakushi (Sanskrit: Bhaisajyaguru), the Medicine Master Buddha, an iconography better known in Japan through sculpture. Commonly referred to as a Yakushi triad, the central Buddha is shown with two attendants: Nikkō (Suryaprabha), the bodhisattva of the sun (to the right), and Gakkō (Candraprabha), the bodhisattva of the moon (to the left). Here, Yakushi as the central figure of worship, is significantly larger than the bodhisattvas. He cradles a small medicine jar in one hand, while the other is raised in a rare form of the “Have no fear” (abhaya varada) mudra both of which identify him as the medicine Buddha. The bodhisattvas are ornately decorated and hold staffs with tips that cradle the sun and moon. Although Yakushi is also known for Beryl radiance and frequently depicted with blue skin in India and Tibet in this painting his golden skin is a reflection of the Chinese standard and an example of the transmission of Buddhism from China to Japan through Korea. Introduced to Japan in the seventh century A.D, Yakushi still has relevance in death memorials, such as the ‘Thirteen Buddha’ memorial where Yakushi is the deity of the forty-ninth day after death.
