🍑NETHER REGION NEEDS🍇

In Kyōto, no matter your material, physical or spiritual needs, there will be a god waiting to hear your prayers.
And there is a one that has a very specific job...to aid with hemorrhoids (痔核 'jikaku' in Japanese)😮

Circles play an important role in zen thought😑
Without corners there is no end and no beginning, just an uninterrupted and continuous journey.

'Ensō' (円相), a circle painted with a single stroke, symbolizes absolute enlightenment, freedom of the mind, elegance, and the universe.

😵‍💫⏹️WINDOW TO THE SOUL⏺️😇

Visitors to Genkō-an (源光庵) are presented with a riddle when they settle in the main hall...a question built into the architecture of the the temple.

What does the world look like to one who is enlightened?🤔

Two windows hold the key.

Originally floorboards in Fushimi Castle, a violent battle saw footprints and clothing caught forever as bloodstains in the wood. The floorboards were eventually distributed to temples as a prayer for the souls of those that died. Most ended up as ceiling panels.A grumpy onigawara (roof tile ornament) greets visitors to Genko-an.

Originally home to an artistic community that flourished in the 17th, the narrow valley was much later purchased by one of Japan's leading collectors of obi (帯-kimono sashes), who envisioned constructing a textile museum here.
Work began, but his dream never came to fruition.
