The second in my collection of Japan pics.
Sadly I only got one picture of the Kinkakuji, as my camera died D: Plus the 'friend' I was with said that old buildings were boring and a waste of film, so they wouldn't take anymore for me.
How dare they. D:<
Info: Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion) is a Zen temple formally known as Rokuonji.
In 1397 construction started on the Golden Pavilion as part of a new residence for the retired shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Kinkakuji was converted into a Zen temple after Yoshimitsu's death in 1408.
The Golden Pavilion functions as shariden, housing sacred relics of the Buddha and is covered in gold leaf. The present building dates from 1955 as the pavilion was burnt by a fanatic monk in 1950.
