About This Video
Kyorinbo Temple (Shiga) is said to have been built by Crown Prince Shotoku in 605 and named as such for being originally a place of teaching (“Kyo”) surrounded by a forest (“Rin”).
Featuring gorgeous moss-covered stones lined-up all over its garden, Kyorinbo temple is reminiscent of the famous Japanese artist and aristocrat Enshu Kobori and its magnificent wabi-sabi world.
The thatched roof of the study building, located at the entrance of the temple is today designated as an important cultural property by the city and is another highlight of Kyorinbo Temple.
