Kyoto, Japan - Lifelike double dragon mural: Kenninji Temple

There are hundreds of temple gardens in Kyoto. Not only can you see them all, but you also have to pay for each one. You really have to choose the special ones to see, otherwise you will run out of cash! After finishing #kiyomizudera in the morning on my birthday, my second target was #kenninji, one of the five mountains in #Kyoto, close to Shijo Street and Hanamikoji. Kenninji Temple is the oldest Zen temple in Tokyo with a high status. Kodaiji Temple and Hokanji Temple (Yasaka Tower) are both its branch temples. In addition to the gold foil screen of the God of Wind and Thunder, a national treasure, and the dry landscape with the concept of the universe, the most interesting thing about Jianren Temple is #双龙图. #戋华堂 is dedicated to Sakyamuni. The ceiling of the Dharma Hall has a huge double dragon picture in the ink style. It took the painter Junsaku Koizumi two years to complete. It is 15.7 meters long and 11.4 meters wide. The two dragons are lifelike with their teeth and claws, very spectacular! In fact, the Double Dragon Picture is a modern work. It was born in 2002, the 800th anniversary of the founding of Jianren Temple. Although it is not an antique-level national treasure, it is one of the most eye-catching highlights of Jianren Temple today. Tickets are ¥800, cash only. #JapanTandian #KyotoAttractions #kenninji #双龙图
