Inryoken - Inryoken

Japanese: 蔭涼軒 - いんりょうけん

This dormitory was located in the southern part of Rokuon-in, a sub-temple within Shokoku-ji Temple, one of the Five Mountains of Kyoto. Its founding year is unclear, but it is believed that Shogun Yoshimochi gave the name Inryoken to the dormitory that Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu established within Rokuon-in. In 1425 (Oei 32), Inryoken was burned down when Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu burned down Shogun Yoshinori in 1439 (Eikyō 11). However, it burned down again during the Onin War and was never rebuilt. Inryoken was like a small palace for the Shogun, and although the Shogun was the owner, a Zen monk who was his attendant was assigned to look after the residence while he was away.

Japanese:

京都五山の一つである相国寺（しようこくじ）山内の塔頭（たつちゆう）鹿苑（ろくおん）院の南坊にあった寮舎。創建年は明らかでないが，将軍足利義満が鹿苑院内に設けた寮舎に，将軍義持が蔭涼軒なる名を付したものと思われる。1425年(応永32)相国寺炎上に際し，蔭涼軒も焼失したが，39年(永享11)将軍義教によって再建された。しかし，応仁の乱に再び焼失し，以後再建されなかった。蔭涼軒は将軍の小御所的なもので，軒主は将軍であったが，留守職として近侍の禅僧があてられた。
