Jikishi-an Zen Hermitage Founded in 1646, Kyoto-Japan!
This is a temple of the Pure Land sect known as Shohozan. It originally belonged to the Obaku School of Buddhism. The Zen master Dokusho, who inherited the teachings of the Zen master Ingen, founder of the Obaku School of Zen Buddhism in Japan, is believed to have first opened the thatched hut called Mosshoan here in 1646. Other halls were later added to create a larger temple. It was given the name Jikishian, which is an uncommon name for a temple.
This temple gradually fell into ruin, however, until it was restored around the end of the Edo period by Muraokano Tsubone, a senior lady-in-waiting from the Konoe Family. Tsubone, who worked for Konoe Tadahiro, was involved in the Ansel Roundup and was imprisoned in Edo. After she was pardoned, she returned to Kyoto and lived a life of seclusion in Saga. She was known for her efforts to educate neighborhood children. Tsubone's gravesite is located in the bamboo grove to the north of the main hall.
Several buildings were rebuilt by volunteer after being destroyed by fire in 1880.
The main hall enshrines the principal image of the Amitabha Tathegata. The round monument enshrines the image of the Zen master Dokusho at the Kaizando hall.

JAPAN TRIP WINTER 2018 // KYOTO 京都// UJI'S BYODOIN 平等院
Getting to Uji in Kyoto took surprisingly longer than we expected and when we finally arrived late in the afternoon, the sun was already beginning to set. Nevertheless, we were able to see the beautiful Byoudouin with its famous phoenix hall surrounded by a pond which reflects the evening sky!
There was one unfortunate thing though... Keep watching to find out what I mean ;p

Byōdō-in Buddhist temple, Kyoto, Japan
Byōdō-in (平等院?) is a Buddhist temple in the city of Uji in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. It is jointly a temple of the Jōdo-shū (Pure Land) and Tendai-shū sects. Absolutely beautiful temple, and surrounding structures and gardens, as well.

Byodoin Temple, Uji, Kyoto 平等院 宇治 京都 by Kari Gröhn, karigrohncom
Byodoin Temple (平等院, Byōdō-in) was originally built in 998 in the Heian period as a rural villa of high-ranking courtier Minamoto no Shigenobu, Minister of the Left. The villa was made into a Buddhist temple by Fujiwara no Yorimichi in 1052. The most famous building in the temple is the Phoenix Hall (鳳凰堂 Hōō-dō) or the Amida Hall, constructed in 1053. It is the only remaining original building, surrounded by a scenic pond.
The temple is a striking example of Buddhist Pure Land (Jodo) architecture. Together with its garden, the temple represents the Pure Land Paradise and was influential on later temple construction. Although the temple was given another official name, almost immediately after its construction, it was nicknamed the Phoenix Hall because of its shape and the two phoenix statues on its roof. The hall is now featured on the back of the Japanese ten yen coin.

In 1052, Byodoin Temple was built by the Regent, Fujiwara no Yorimichi by rebuilding the villa, given by his father, Michinaga. The year 1052 was said to be the beginning of a decadent age when Buddhism was thought to be dying out and pessimism due to decadence infected the minds of aristocrats and monks. Jodoshinko (belief in Jodo), which prays for peaceful death and rebirth in Gokuraku (nirvana), widely spread throughout society. In 1053, the following year, Amidado (Hoo-do (Phoenix Hall)) was completed and in the Hall, the Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Tathagata) Seated Statue at a height of 2.43m, created by Jocho, the greatest sculptor during the Heian Period, was situated and it is said that it was the most extravagant of the time. The building and statutes created about 1,000 years ago have been passed down to this day and are registered as a World Heritage Site.

4. Kunihede & Nami. Kunehide the groom is wearing the green ceremonial robes of a Buddhist monk of the Jodo sect.
5. Dresser makes adjustment to the hood.
6. SOUNDBITE: (Japanese) Sasada Kunehide, Groom:
First impression? I thought she was really cute. Yes, it was love at first site. Bang!
7. Kunehide & Nami
8. SOUNDBITE: (Japanese) Eguchi Nami, Bride:
He was always the class joker.
10. Kunehide and Nami kneeling
11. Rear of Konkai Komyo Ji Temple
12. Relatives of the groom in a waiting room within the temple
13. Close up fan
14. Brides relatives drinking tea in adjacent waiting room
15. Mother of bride
16. Ceremony begins officiated by three monks
17. Bride and groom
18. Monk casts paper flowers onto the floor
19. Wide three monks.
20. SOUNDBITE: (Japanese) Shimizu Shuko, Monk who leads the ceremony:
The room is purified or cleansed for the Buddha to come into the space. You can purify or cleanse a space with a vacuum cleaner but for over three thousand years, ritual in Buddhism purifies a space for the Buddha by covering it with flowers.
21. Various bride and groom take flowers that they have exchanged to the altar
22. Bride and groom bow
23. SOUNDBITE: (Japanese) Shimizu Shuko, Monk who leads the ceremony:
I think that (it is when the bride and groom) make an offering of incense in gratitude both to the Buddha and their ancestors that is probably the most distinctive feature of a Buddhist wedding.
24. Bride and groom make symbolic offering of incense to the deceased father of the groom.
25. SOUNDBITE: (Japanese) Sasada Nami, Bride:
I'd never really thought about a Buddhist wedding, but because he is a monk so it kind of became inevitable.
26. Juzu beads used to count nenbutsu (Buddhist prayers)
27.Groom receives Juzu
28. SOUNDBITE: (Japanese) Sasada Kunehide:
With a (specialist wedding) chapel it is easy to make an application and procedure is straight forward but with a Buddhist ceremony people are not really sure what to do. There is an image or perception that it is difficult.
29. Bride and groom pose for photograph in the garden of Konkai Komyo Ji Temple.
30. SOUNDBITE: (Japanese) Shimizu Shuko, Monk who leads the ceremony:
People associate temples with funerals, places where they come at the end of their lives, but people are born, they grow, and they meet a special person. Shinto Gods are important but as an important passage in people's lives I think that Buddhist wedding ceremonies are also appropriate.
31. Family group shot
32. Bride and Groom
LEAD IN:
In Japan, Buddhist wedding ceremonies are relatively rare.
Most couples wed in specialist Christian style chapels, hotels or shrines, but Kunihide and Nami, a young couple from the city of Uji chose to tie the knot in the Buddhist tradition.
They married in Konkai Komyo Ji Temple, one of the seven most important temples in the Pure Land Jodo Buddhist sect.
STORY LINE:
Kunihide and Nami were in the same class at High School. They are now both twenty six years old and have been a couple for the last nine years.
According to Nami, Kunihide was the class joker and to Kunihide it was love at first sight.
Unlike most contemporary Japanese couples who generally marry in Christian style wedding chapels or at Shinto shrines this couple choose a Buddhist wedding ceremony.
This was not something that bride Sasada Nami had previously envisioned but because her partner had become a monk she said that it became inevitable.

Canadian in Japan Randy Channell Soei Japanophiles Japanology
On this edition of Japanophiles we meet Randy Channell Soei, a Canadian who, over more than 30 years spent in Japan, has become a master of the traditional tea ceremony.
On first consideration, the transition Channell made from punishing martial arts practice to the more genteel world of tea may seem an unlikely one. But it actually fits into a samurai tradition in which aesthetic refinement was seen as a vital aspect of a well-rounded character.
One hint at a kinship between the tea ceremony and the warrior’s code can be found in the Japanese name: chado/sado, or the way of tea. The do part means path or way, and the various different ways include kendo (the way of the sword), judo (the gentle way), aikido (the way of harmonious spirit), and kyudo (the way of the bow).
Along with shodo (traditional calligraphy, or the way of writing) and kado (flower arranging, the way of flowers), these names point to the fact that in many Japanese fields of learning, the important thing is the journey rather than the destination. Taken in its purest form, each of these disciplines represents a lifelong commitment to steady self-improvement, with no clearly defined endpoint.
To Channell, a major shared appeal of chado and budo (the way of the warrior), is a focus on poise: the mastery of action and form within the context of an overall flow, shaped by a deep sense of purpose.
Within the world of tea itself, there are numerous schools, each with its own unique approach to the art. But in general the focus is on facilitating communication between host and guest in a manner that, though highly stylized, strips away all pretense.

Nisonin Temple （二尊院）, Arashiyama, Kyoto City
Nisonin Temple （二尊院） is a temple tucked away in the backstreets of the romantic Arashiyama District, located in the western suburabs of the Kyoto City.
Nison-in Temple belongs to the Sanmon branch of the Tendai sect of Buddhism. Nison-in was founded in 841 AD. The temple eventually declined, and was restored about 400 years later by a disciple of Monk Honen, the founder of the Jodo (Pure Land) sect of the Japanese Buddhism.
The cementary at this temple is probably most notable as it contains graves of many historical figures of Japanese history including the Confucian scholar Ito Jinsai.
Enjoy!!!

Kyoto [006] Byodoin Temple
Subscribe link:
Nestled in the city of Uji in Kyoto prefecture, is Byodoin Temple (平等院) built in 998. Byodoin Temple incorporates the Buddhist Pure Land (Jodo) architecture. Byodoin Temple with its beautiful garden symbolizes the Pure Land Paradise. Originally built as a countryside retreat villa, Fujiwara no Michinaga, this temple architecture influenced the construction of future temples. Michinaga’s son transformed the villa into a temple. He ordered the creation of the temple’s most amazing feature, the Phoenix Hall. Though the hall bears a different name officially, due to the shape as well as the two phoenix statues on the roof, the hall is known as the Hoodo (“Phoenix Hall”). Visitors may be pleased to note this beautiful hall is imprinted on the back of the Japanese ten yen coin.

興正寺霊山本廟(こうしょうじりょうぜんほんびょう) に行ってきました。
産寧坂（三年坂）をずっと歩いていくと参道入り口があります。
清水寺に観光旅行に行ったことがある人の中には見たことがある人も多いと思います。
ここは浴衣を着た観光客や外国人がよく写真を撮っていますよね。
いつ通っても写真を撮っている人が多くて、なかなか奥に進む気にならなかったのですが、今回は行ってみました！
奥はどんな風になっているか気になっていたんですよね。
この参道は桜や紅葉も綺麗だそうです。
参道の真ん中辺りから急に静かになります。
三年坂の観光客でざわざわした雰囲気から急に全然違う雰囲気になります。
階段を上がると目の前に本堂があります。
中央にはご本尊の阿弥陀如来、向かって右には親鸞聖人の像があります。
本堂を出て左に進むと親鸞聖人の銅像と鐘楼があります。
さらに奥に進むと本廟があります。

???????? 360° Bukkō-ji Temple | Kyoto, Japan
A short 360° video of the small Bukkō-ji Shin Buddhist temple in Kyoto! =] ????????
✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣
Bukkō-ji, also known as the Temple of the Buddha's Light, was originally named Kosho-ji, a Jōdo Shinshū temple in the Yamashina ward of Kyoto, which later moved to the heart of Kyoto. The temple was founded and officially opened by a disciple named Ryōgen in 1324, but by the 15th century, Bukkō-ji was the largest and most successful temple, and its network of branch temples extending throughout the provinces of western Japan. As a rival to the Hongan-ji, it received much criticism for its evangelical practices from Kakunyo the head of the Hongan-ji. Around 1481, however, Bukkō-ji became a subordinate temple to the Hongan-ji. Many of the Bukkō-ji's congregation thus became members of the Hongan-ji, thus greatly reducing the stature. While Bukkō-ji is technically an independent Jōdo Shinshū branch it has had close links to the Hongan-ji lineage since the time of Rennyo.

The second stop on our Japan adventure was the outrageously beautiful Kyoto, filled to bursting with shrines and temples, there is no way to see it all in a week, so we picked our favourite places. Quieter and less boisterous than Tokyo and Osaka, Kyoto has a sense of tranquillity and elegance.
