Shōrin-in Temple

eenomsiki

Looking from afar and up close are different. Nested between Sanzen-in and Hosen-in, the expansive temple, Shourinin, might seem easy to pass by from the outside, but it represents the most authentic temple atmosphere. From a distance, it appears as if its grand scale is all there is, but up close, the charm of its old, weathered tiles is truly impressive. Everything looks different from afar and up close. It calls for multiple looks and from various angles.
