Story about one temple in Kyoto
Story about one temple in Kyoto.Last weekend I took my parents to Kyoto sightseeing tour by my car.Jakkouin temple suffered from fire incident which burnt whole architecture as well as every precious treasures inside the hall by arson just recently around a ten years ago.One good luck out of such misfortune was that temple's design in detail was measured and kept by national treasure curators and that they rebuilt it sincerely following after that design without inches difference.
When we visited that temple,I off course felt disappointed first since it doesn't seem to have any ancient atmosphere with such newly built model.However when we learnt the truth that it was around 1000 years ago when it suffered arson and restored first time,we could feel the period of its first built after arson more vividly, on the contrary.THat era was know as one of historic transient period when a Shogunate first replaced the Emperor to reign the country in Japan,while the originally founded time of that temple dates back to another 400 years since that time!What a long history we have!That temple was know that one of the royal family stayed until she died living quietly apart from real world,who survived the battle that beat Emperor warriors declaring Shogunates' victory.
Now we're facing our own new transient period.We should learn various things from many stages of our history.
