A History Steeped in Zen and Splendor
Originally this Kinkaku-ji ( in the recent golden temple) was built in 1397 by Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu after his death Kinkaku-ji was converted into a Zen Temple. The temple architecture is a beautiful blend of rich Japanese traditions, in this temple, you can see each floor of this temple represents a different era and philosophy.
The first ground, with its hardwood partitions and tiled roof, reflects the Shinden-zukuri style of the Heian period. The second ground, decorated with gold leaf and showing sensitive lattice work, symbolizes the Bukkyo-zukuri fashion of the Kamakura length. The top floor, a Zen sanctuary covered entirely in gold leaf, once again reflects Shinden-zukuri fashion.
