Kyoto 💕 Ginkakuji Temple! Philosophy and Japanese beauty

#Osaka Shopping Guide Ginkaku-ji, officially known as Higashiyama Jisho-ji Temple, was built in 1482. It originated from the mountain villa Higashiyamaden built by Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the eighth shogun of the Muromachi shogunate. After Yoshimasa's death, it became a temple of the Rinzai sect, and was named Jisho-in after Yoshimasa's Buddhist name. Yoshimasa, who inherited the position of shogun at the age of 9, projected all his aesthetics into it, creating a simple and elegant mountain villa that reflects the essence of Higashiyama culture. Entering the Ginkaku-ji Temple, you can see that this dry landscape of white sand has a sand dune at one foot, named "Mukaigetsudai", which echoes the color of the roof of the Ginkaku, and perhaps under the moonlight, it will emit a faint glow. And walking along the bank of the pond in the courtyard, it seems as if you have entered a fairy island on the sea. The pond is not large, and the gardening techniques can be seen in the shadows of famous gardens such as Saiho-ji Temple and Katsura Imperial Villa. Elements such as stone groups, stone bridges, small islands, and pine forests gather together here to form a miniature version of the space of Penglai Fairy Island. The entire pool is under the jungle, and not much light penetrates through the tree canopy, so people can feel more secluded in it.
