Kyoto #27: 平等院鳳凰堂【Byodo-In】

What a wonderful reflecting world…
The cantral hall that is the focus of the Ho-oh-doh is 14.2 meters across its face and 11.8 meters along the side. On the top of the tile roof, a pair of phoenixes are affixed, in addition, the four corners of the roof of the central hall curve up sharply, giving the structure as a whole and air of imminent motion.

Don’t miss even small things…
Here, Jodo-In Temple is the head of Byodo-in Temple and is said to have been founded in the latter half of the 15th century to restore Byodo-in Temple. There is an interesting thing, Kuze-Funanori-Kan’non, which is enshrined by travelers and families who pray for the safety of travel.
