| Comment |
The Zuiryu-ji temple, formally
known as Soutou-shu Takaokasan Zuiryu-ji, was built in 1663 by Maeda
Toshitsune, the third lord of the Kaga clan, in memory of the second
lord Maeda Toshinaga. The architecture of the temple, which took
twenty years to complete, is of the typical "garan" style
(used in the arrangement of Buddhist temple buildings), imported
from China and dominant throughout the country during the Kamakura
Period. The main gate, second gate, main sanctuary and auditorium
are arranged in a straight line, while the meditation house and
administration office with kitchen are symmetrically arranged to
the sides. A long corridor connects the surrounding buildings, creating
a solemn, orderly atmosphere reminiscent of a castle. The second
gate, main sanctuary and auditorium are designated National Treasures. |
