#Kamakura : "Among the many other treasures on display is a crowned image of Shakayamuni from the temple of #Kenchōji. The #museum is an ideal place to encounter some of the finest examples of Kamakura #Buddhist #sculpture up close and get a sense for the distinctive style of eastern #Japan, which developed separately from the earlier styles seen in the temples of Kyoto and Nara. The museum is closed for renovations until October 23, 2026, but is well worth a visit once it reopens."

For a gate on a different scale, at the Kencho-ji Temple is the Sanmon Gate! It’s massive and needs a wide lens. I arrived shortly after opening, so the temple was empty. #kamakura #kenchoji
