Tenryū-ji
Tenryū-ji (天龍寺; English: Flying Dragon Temple)[1] is a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan. During the Sengoku period, it was situated in the Arashiyama region.
History
Founded in 1339 by Shōgun Ashikaga Takauji and the Buddhist monk Musō Soseki,[2] it was meant to celebrate the recently-passed Emperor Go-Daigo's soul.[1] Musō became the temple's first head priest and established a garden there, arguing that one could attain enlightenment not just by meditating but also by creating beautiful art.[1]
In 1582, the Kakushiba ikki members Fujibayashi Naoe and Yasuke recovered three pages scattered across the temple's grounds.[3]
