Unryu-in temple (雲龍院), Imakumano Kannon-ji (今熊野観音寺)



Unryu-in temple is located inside of the Sennyu-ji Temple as sub-temple. It was established in 1372 by Emperor Gokogon. There are some interesting points on how viewers see the scenery outside. The concept of windows are related with Zen spirit.







This window is called "Satorino Mado", which describes the achievement of a deep Zen- spiritual awareness, in contrast to "Mayoino Mado" square-shaped window.
