Higashi Hongan-Ji.

Lors de la seule véritable journée de pluie que nous ayons eu durant notre séjour, nous avons décidé de visiter le centre de Kyoto et notamment le Higashi Hongan-ji. C’est un ensemble immense, aux constructions imposantes, dont le temple principal serait le plus grand monument en bois du monde.

Il fut fondé en 1602 par le shogun Togugawa Ieyasu. Détruit par un incendie il fut rebâti en 1895. Sur l’image, l’un des portails d’entrée.


On the only real rainy day we had during our stay, we decided to visit the center of Kyoto and in particular the Higashi Hongan-ji. It is a huge complex, with imposing constructions, whose main temple would be the largest wooden monument in the world.

It was founded in 1602 by the Shogun Togugawa Ieyasu. Destroyed by fire it was rebuilt in 1895. The image shows one of the entrance gates.

Magnificent gateway. I like the fall colors in the background and the shine from the wetness. It may have been rainy but you got an outstanding capture. V.

I find the style of building, or in this case, gateway, to be very aesthetically pleasing. Your fantastic shot shows it off beautifully. V
