Description

View of small gate and courtyard at Manpuku-Ji Temple in Kyoto, Japan. "Manpuku-ji is the head temple of the Obaku School, one of the three Zen sects of Japan. The temple was established by Chinese Zen master Yinyuan in 1661 during the early Edo period (1603-1868). It was built by introducing the architectural style of Ming dynasty of China and enshrines Buddhist images made by Chinese Buddhist sculptors ... Somon (main gate,) Tennoden (Heavenly king's hall,) Daiyuhoden (main hall) and Hatto (lecture hall) lie on a straight line while other buildings such as Zendo and Saido are arranged symmetrically in the vast grounds,"--from Japan: the Official Guide website.
