Starting from Kita-Kamakura, peaceful paths lead us to the Engaku-ji, Zen temple of the Rinzai sect. It was built in 1282 by Hōjō Tokimune (1251-1284) to commemorate the victims of the battles between Japanese warriors and Mongolian attackers in 1274 and 1281. It is only thanks to the fortuitous appearance of typhoons (kamikaze: divine wind), that the Mongols were decimated. One of the largest Zen temples in Kamakura, it originally consisted of forty-seven buildings, but the earthquake of 1923 damaged them and only seventeen pavilions remain.
