The Yamada-den Amida Triad, or Hōryūji Treasure N-144, is a 7th-century sculpture from the Asuka period depicting the Amida Triad, represented by the Buddha Amitābha, accompanied by the Bodhisattvas Kannon and Seishi (Mahasthamaprapta). Once a part of Hōryū-ji, it is currently owned by the Tokyo National Museum as part of the Hōryū-ji Treasure Gallery. It is designated an Important Cultural Property. It is the oldest depiction of the Amida Triad in Japanese art.
