Kyoto's Kinkakuji temple has burned down more than once. A new adaptation that dramatizes its 1950 burning crosses genres and borders to retell the story. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2026/08/08/stage/kinkakuji-play-novel-adaptation-bunkamura/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #stage #bunraku #kinkakuji #templeofthegoldenpavillion #yukiomishima #bunkamura

✨THE 7 WONDERS OF ROKUON-JI🪙
Like many temples and shrines in Kyōto, Rokuon-ji (鹿苑寺) has a list of 'wonders'...
1) Gold😎
Kinkaku-ji (金閣寺) is covered in 200,000 sheets of gold leaf (weighing 20kg in total)!
Each gold leaf is 10cm by 10cm.

Kyoto
Gegenüber vom Kinkaku‑ji sitzen und feststellen: Manche Gebäude sind so gülden, dass sogar der Teich mitmacht und das Ganze doppelt ausstellt. Der Spiegelteich heißt nicht umsonst „Kyōko‑chi“ – ruhig genug, um jedes Detail zurückzuwerfen, inklusive dem Moment, in dem man kurz vergisst, weiterzulaufen. Kamera (Canon) hängt bereit, aber der eigentliche Trick ist: einfach stillhalten und nicht versuchen, das Gold zu „toppen“. #oskarundco #osawa #kinkakuji

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.

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.

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.

My discomfort in large groups is vindicated. Although there are hordes here. Kinkaku-ji Temple, Kyoto, Japan.

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 -
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.” https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/05/japan/history/kinkakuji-destroyed-okinawa-expo-1925-1950-1975-2000/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #history #hakone #infrastructure #kyoto #kinkakuji #arson #okinawa #europe #europeanunion

Kinkaku-ji, the reliquary hall of Rokuon-ji (鹿苑寺), was the last remaining piece of Yoshimitsu's sprawling 'Kitayama-dono' (北山殿).
Massive in scale, the villa complex included a Northern Palace (北御所), Southern Palace (南御所) and home for Sukenmon-in (崇賢門院/藤原仲子), the mother of Emperor Go-En'yū.

'Hakuja-no-Tsuka' (白蛇の塚 'White Snake Mound') on 'Anmintaku' (安民沢 'Tranquility Pond') is thought to be where Saionji Kintsune (西園寺公経 1171-1244), after completing the first palace here, enshrined Benzaiten (her familiar is a white snake) so she might protect his wife whenever he was away from home.
Even in times of drought the pond never dried up, and so people began to pray to the small shrine here for rain during dry periods.
-
In 1397 Ashikaga Yoshimitsu (足利義満 1358-1408) purchased the old home of the Saionji family. Once a sprawling villa and lavish temple (after which the Saionji took their name), in 1335 Saionji Kinmune (西園寺公宗) rebelled against the emperor, lost, and the complex burnt in the struggle.

Each floor of Kinkaku-ji uses a different architectural style:
1) 'Hōsui-in' (法水院 'Chamber of Dharma Waters') = shinden-style (寝殿造 -palatial style).
2) 'Chōon-dō' (潮音洞 'The Sound of Waves Tower') = buke-style (武家造 -warrior style).
3) 'Kukkyō-chō' (究竟頂 'Cupola of the Ultimate') = zen-style (禅宗様).

The pavilion's newly installed fire alarm was not working at the time😩
After failing to kill himself, Hayashi Yōken (林養賢) was caught and imprisoned. The incident became inspiration for Mishima Yukio's (三島由紀夫 1925-70) book 'The Temple of the Golden Pavilion'.

🪙THE GOLDEN PAVILION🔥
True beauty is something that attacks, overpowers, robs, & finally destroys.
-Mishima Yukio (三島由紀夫).In 1950, almost bald of gold & having survived the Ōnin War, Kinkaku-ji was burnt to the ground by Hayashi Yōken, one of its own novice monks.

By the end of the Ōnin War (1467-77) only 1 of the Tōji-ji temples survived...Kitatōji-ji (北等持寺). It is this temple that we now know as Tōji-in.
The Ashikaga shōgunate was both a blessing and curse for Kyōto. The clan's patronage aided in an extraordinary blossoming of culture, but their weakening grip on power resulted in a 10 year civil war that completely destroyed the capital and led to the "Warring States period".
