YOGEN-IN
Temple

2024
This temple founded in 1594 by Hideyoshi Toyotomi for his favorite, Yodogimi, is regularly among the "sinister" selections to visit in Kyoto. In cause: its bloody ceiling, built from beams impregnated with the blood of the servants of the Tokugawa who committed a ritual suicide, seppukku, during the siege of Fujimi Castle. But that's not its only attraction. It features beautiful doors and panels by Rimpa painters such as Sōtatsu Tawaraya. To see: the kirin, emblem of kindness, the pair of lions and white elephants.
