今日の歴史【#源光庵 】
京都市！「悟りの窓」と「迷いの窓」で有名な源光庵！本堂の天井を見上げると、生々しい血の痕跡が…。
.
これが知る人ぞ知る「伏見城遺構 血天井」です⚡
.
1600年の「伏見城の戦い」。大軍を迎え撃った武士たちが、城の床で壮絶な自刃を遂げました。その血が染みた床板を「天井」に張り替えたのがこの場所。
.
なぜ天井なのか？
.
『これ以上、人に踏みつけられないように』という深い弔いの念から🙏🏻
.
静寂で美しい庭園と、天井に刻まれた
武士たちのすさまじい情念が織りなす空間。
.
美しさと狂気が同居する歴史を知って見上げると、
空間の見え方が一変する、心に刺さる撮影でした...！ -
👣KYŌTO'S BLOOD CEILINGS🩸
The rear portion of the ceiling in Genkō-an's (源光庵) main hall is stained with what at first glance looks like water damage...
...but soon a footprint emerges on the rust coloured wood, the shape of a doll, shadowy fingertips, the fold of a kimono! -
😵💫⏹️WINDOW TO THE SOUL⏺️😇
Visitors to Genkō-an (源光庵) are presented with a riddle when they settle in the main hall...a question built into the architecture of the the temple.
What does the world look like to one who is enlightened?🤔
Two windows hold the key.

Genkō-an is 1 of 8 temples that claim to have received bloody floorboards from Momoyama Castle (伏見城/aka 桃山城), some time after the Siege of Fushimi in 1600.
