The sub-temple had a small but charming garden.<\/p>\n
The next goal was “Unryuin” Temple in “Sennyu-ji<\/a>” Temple. The “Sennyu-ji” is a temple of the Shingon Sect of Buddhism. It was built in Kamakura Period (1185 – 1333), and is connected with the Japanese Imperial Family, having imperial mausoleums.<\/p>\n This temple, as well as the “Tofuku-ji” Temple, are big temples, whose lands are on one mountain, and so the lands are wide and have height differences.<\/p>\n This is a gate, “Daimon,” of the\u00a0“Sennyu-ji.”<\/p>\n The “Unryuin,” at which we aimed, stood at the innermost site of the “Sennyu-ji.”<\/p>\n There was a red bridge, which is an entrance of a sub-temple of the “Sennyu-ji,” called “Imakumano-Kannonji,” in the land of “Sennyu-ji.”<\/p>\n This is the “Butsuden (Buddha hall)” of the “Sennyuji,” seen at the foot of a slope.<\/p>\n The “Butsuden” and “Honbo (a residence for the\u00a0chief Buddhist priest)” that you can see the building having a white wall in the back.<\/p>\n The “Butsuden” on the right side, and “Sharidenn (Reliquary Hall)” on the left side.<\/p>\n “Gozasho (a place where the Imperial Family uses).” That day was fine, but the “Sennyu-ji” is in the mountain, and so the daylight was fading and it gradually became dark even at around 3 o’clock. It also got cold.<\/p>\n We finally reached the “Unryuin<\/a>.” It took about 15 minutes from the “Daimon.”<\/p>\n A sumie or suibokuga<\/a> (black-and-white ink painting) at the entrance drawing of a dragon on clouds.\u00a0The temple’s name is “Unryuin” and the Sumie is an “unryu-zu” in which “un” is cloud and “ryu” is a dragon.<\/p>\n “Satori no Mado” (the window of enlightenment).<\/p>\n The garden seen from a space between shoji<\/a> screens.<\/p>\n We had “wagashi (Japanese-style confectionery)” and green tea in this room.\u00a0 You can get a tea service in this room, while gazing at this garden.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
