KYOTO - Kodai-ji Temple

Kōdai-ji (高台寺, Kōdai-ji), was established in 1606 by the nun Kōdai-in (often known by the title Kita no Mandokoro), who was the widow of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, to pray for her late husband. The principal image is a statue of Shaka. The gardens of Kōdai-ji are a nationally designated Historic Site and Place of Scenic Beauty. The temple possesses a number of objects designated as Important Cultural Assets. Among these are the Main Gate and the Spirit Hall, noted for its use of maki-e. The temple is nicknamed the maki-e temple." It also holds paintings, including one of Hideyoshi, as well as textiles, and a bronze bell with an inscription dating it to 1606.

Annamaria : Il Suo occhio scivola attento e ammirato sulla carpenteria lignea
arricchita da intagli simbolici e sul boschetto di bambù giganti che
accarezzano il cielo mormorando una preghiera. Grazie per questo
dono di pura, quieta bellezza !
