Kannon-do at Ninna-ji Temple The construction of Ninna-ji Temple began at the request of Emperor Mitsutaka, and was founded by Emperor Uta in the 4th year of Ninwa (888). It has been revered by successive emperors as a private temple of the Imperial Family. The photograph is a high-resolution image of 33 enshrinement Buddha statues and murals Reproduction the normally non-Open to the public Kannondo at the Tokyo National Museum. There were so many visitors that it was difficult to take pictures so as not to let people in, but this was the only one that looked like Kannondo. It's really beautiful.

【Twin Dragon Ceiling】 Kenninji Temple Kyoto Kenninji Temple is famous for having Tawaraya Sotatsu's "Wind God and Thunder God Diagram" and Kaihoku Tomomatsu's fusuma paintings. The hall was rebuilt in 1765 and is a designated tangible cultural property of Kyoto Prefecture. On the ceiling of the hall is a "Twin Dragon Ceiling" drawn by Junsaku Koizumi in 2002 to commemorate the 800th anniversary of its founding. A piece unique to Kenninji, which always challenges new things and adapts to modern times.

This is the ceiling painting "Twin Dragon Ceiling" taken at Kenninji Temple, which I visited on a walk in Kyoto sometime. When I heard about the photo contest on Japanese history being held in 2024 (Year of the Dragon), this photo was the first thing that came to mind. Dragons have been the subject of worship and worship since ancient times! Kyoto, dragons, temples, and other elements are all suitable for the subject of Japanese history, so I decided to post it.
