Seihakuji Temple

Japanese: 清白寺 - せいはくじ

A Zen temple in Yamanashi City. It is said that Seikei Tsutsumu invited Muso Soseki to be the temple's founder, and that the temple was founded by Ashikaga Takauji in 1333. The Buddhist hall was built in 1415. With its simple joinery and a ceiling that is made up of mirrors on all sides, it is a valuable relic that shows how Zen Buddhist halls have changed over the years, and is a national treasure.
