Shinjuan - Shinjuan

Japanese: 真珠庵 - しんじゅあん

A subtemple of Daitoku-ji Temple, a Rinzai sect temple in Kita-ku, Kyoto City. It was built in 1491 by Owa Sorin, a wealthy merchant from Sakai, as a pagoda for Ikkyu Sojun. Of the existing buildings, the abbot's chamber, the kuri (kitchen quarters), and Tsusen-in are designated as Important Cultural Properties, and together with the garden, are designated as historic sites and scenic spots. The eastern garden of the abbot's chamber was created during the Muromachi period, and is long and narrow from north to south, with stones arranged in the numbers seven, five, and three from south to north, hence it is called the "Seven-Five-Three Garden." The temple treasures include the calligraphy of Daito Kokushi (→ Myocho), a national treasure, as well as paintings on the sliding doors of the abbot's chamber, a colored ascetic Shaka statue on paper that is said to be a serpentine brush, a sumi-e Bodhidharma statue on paper that is said to be a serpentine brush, a seated statue of Ikkyu Sojun, a statue of Ikkyu Sojun, a wooden seated statue of Ikkyu, and calligraphy by Ikkyu Sojun. The grounds also contain the graves of Murata Juko, Kan'ami Seiji, Zeami Motokiyo, and others.
