[Fukui x Eiheiji] If you find the five animal motifs on the magnificent ceiling painting...

📍Eiheiji Temple, Kasshōkaku 5-15 Shibi, Eiheiji-cho, Yoshida-gun, Fukui Prefecture, inside Eiheiji 《Access》 About a 7-minute walk from the Eiheiji bus stop/Keifuku bus ✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲ When I came to Fukui, Eiheiji was a temple I definitely wanted to visit. It is the head temple of the Soto sect and is very large. The most interesting thing is the gorgeous ceiling painting of Kasshōkaku. It is a masterpiece of Japanese paintings with motifs of flowers, birds, wind and moon painted by 144 painters. It is said that if you find a painting with an animal motif among them, your wish will come true. We will also give it a try! ! My neck hurt from looking up too much on the way, but I managed to find them all. Karajishi (blue lion with open mouth) Karajishi (white lion with closed mouth) Koi (two white carp) a happy marriage Koi (black carp) a happy design rising to the sky #Fukui #Eiheiji #Soto sect #Ceiling painting #Amazing #Hokuriku trip #Spring 0 yen trip
