Ginkaku-ji, also known as the Silver Pavilion, is a Zen temple in Kyoto, Japan.

Because the temple's construction took place in the early 1480s, just after the Ōnin War,[1] former shōgun Ashikaga Yoshimasa[2] could not afford to adorn the building with the precious metal it is named after, in the same manner the Gold Pavilion was.[1] Regardless of the decorations, Yoshimasa moved into the pavilion, where he focused having a life of leisure and art with his friends, ignoring the fighting in Kyoto at the time.[2]
