[Kanagawa Prefecture] Looking up at the ceiling paintings of the Buddhist temple

Engakuji Temple
𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃
Engakuji Temple is pronounced "Engakuji".
The principal image is a seated statue of the Crowned Shaka Nyorai.

A Zen temple founded in 1282 by Hojo Tokimune, who invited the Song monk Mugai Sogen to mourn the soldiers who died in the two Mongol invasions.

The temple grounds were larger than I expected.
The ceiling painting of the Buddha hall, "The White Dragon," was impressive.
