A must visit in Japan! A sacred temple full of energy🐲You will understand it only if you experience it yourself

My dears, when you travel to Japan, I highly recommend Kenninji, the oldest Zen temple in Kyoto! I've heard of its fame for a long time, but I was still shocked when I saw it in person! The "Double Dragon Picture" on the patio of the Dharma Hall is majestic, as if a storm is about to come. The visual effect is simply amazing! This painting follows the ink dragon technique of Chen Rong, the master dragon painter of the Southern Song Dynasty in China. It is the result of two years of hard work by the 77-year-old painter Jun Koizumi during his seclusion in Hokkaido. Moreover, the "Cloud Dragon Picture" by the famous painter Haibei Yousong on the indoor screen and the "White Dragon Picture" by the Chinese artist Chen Man in Xilaiyuan are all full of spirit and have their own characteristics, some are vigorous, some are strong, some are lively, and some are smart, as if they have their own unique aura. After visiting the temple, I also bought a black bracelet with cloud dragon beads in the cultural and creative store. It’s super cool! The dry landscape of Kenninji Temple is also amazing, with a broad and distant artistic conception that makes even people with obsessive-compulsive disorder feel extremely comfortable. Sitting there quietly and looking at the scenery, I felt my body and mind being purified. There is a saying in the temple: "Living a simple and frugal life is the most luxurious thing." It means "Living a simple and frugal life is the most luxurious thing." It is really worth savoring. Next time you go to Kyoto, don’t miss this place! #JapanTravel #Kenninji Temple in Kyoto #Zen Temple #Dragon Picture #Dry Landscape #Tokyo Attractions
