Summary
editDescriptionKyoto, Kiyomizu-dera Temple (6172864288).jpg |
Kiyomizu-dera is an independent Buddhist temple in eastern Kyoto. It was founded in the early Heian period. The temple dates back to 778, and its present buildings were constructed in 1633, during a restoration ordered by the Tokugawa Iemitsu. There is not a single nail used in the entire structure. It takes its name from the waterfall within the complex, which runs off the nearby hills. Kiyomizu means clear water, or pure water. The main hall has a large veranda, supported by tall pillars, that juts out over the hillside and offers impressive views of the city. Large verandas and main halls were constructed at many popular sites during the Edo period to accommodate large numbers of pilgrims. (From Wikipedia, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiyomizu-dera) |
