    camphor wood ceiling eight mats wide
    at Kinkaku-ji
    秋ふるや楠八畳の金閣寺
    -Yosa no Buson (与謝蕪村 1716-84).

    The original ceiling was lost to fire in 1950, and replacing the single span of camphor wood proved impossible.

  5. Kinkaku-ji Temple from my trip to Kyoto in November. This might be my favourite shot of the temple itself.

    Small detail that I also love, the grasses near the edge of the pond at the bottom making fun little shapes with their reflections in the water.

  6. Kinukake-no-michi ends (or begins) at the 'Golden Pavilion' (金閣寺).

    Kinkaku-ji, reliquary hall of Rokuon-ji (鹿苑寺), was the last remaining piece of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's sprawling 'Kitayama Palace' (北山殿). The original was burnt down in 1950.

  7. Kyoto second day, Kinkaku-ji.

    I've been once before about 15 years ago and remember it being "neat I guess?", but that was in the off season, I don't think the weather was great, and I was probably jetlagged.

    Gotta say, visiting again on a sunny morning with full fall colours was really something else. :momiji:

    These are off my phone, and I'm pretty sure I've got some great shots on my camera as well. Almost a challenge to get a bad shot today.

  9. Die Fahrt ging weiter zum Kinkakuji - dem Tempel des Goldenen Pavillions. Der namensgebende Pavillion ist wie der silberne in einen Garten eingebettet. Hier ist er aber tatsächlich vergoldet.
    Den Abschluss des Tages bildete das Schloss Nijo. Die frühere Kyotoer Residenz der Takugawa-Shogune stellt deren Macht durch eine prachtvolle Ausstattung zur Schau. #Kinkakuji #Nijojo

  10. Kyoto’s famed Kinkakuji was burned to the ground by a young Buddhist acolyte 75 years ago this month, shocking Japanese society and inspiring Yukio Mishima’s novel “The Temple of the Golden Pavilion.” japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/ #japan #history #hakone #infrastructure #kyoto #kinkakuji #arson #okinawa #europe #europeanunion
