Myoshinji Temple

The largest scale Zen temple in Japan

The grounds of the temple are vast, covering an area of about 100,000 tsubo. On the ceiling
of the Hatto Hall is a large dragon painted by Kano Tanyu over a period of eight years. It is called the “Dragon Gazing in All Directions” because its gaze meets yours from any angle.

  The Unryu-zu painted on a circle with a diameter of 12 m is very impressive. There is little discoloration even though it has never been repaired in the past.
