👣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! -
In total it's said that only 10 soldiers from Mototada’s regiment survived the siege. We often remember the 380 men involved in the final stand at the castle's palatial residence, but should not forget there were an additional 1,600 men slaughtered that day.
It was some time before the bodies were cleared. By then the blood and gore were deep stains in the wood.

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.
