Summary: |
Kiyohira Fujiwara built Chuson-ji in 1105 and gradually the complex of buildings
numbered 40 Buddhist temples and about 300 priests' quarters.
Nearly all these structures have disappeared; now there remains only
the Konjikido (the golden temple), with a few minor structures. CLICK THE "MORE IMAGES" LINK ABOVE TO SEE MORE OF THIS TITLE |
