	Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion Temple) - Kyoto, Japan
		Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion Temple) is the common nickname of the Rokuonji (Deer Garden Temple) Zen temple in Kyoto, Japan.
		Kinkakuji was built in 1393 as a retirement villa for Shogun Yoshimitsu Ashikaga (1358-1409), who quit politics the following year to manage the affairs of state through the new shogun, his 10-year-old son.
		The beauty of the shogun's pavilion makes it difficult to imagine the era in which he lived out his retirement: the country was in turmoil and Kyoto residents suffered severe famines and plagues — local death tolls sometimes reached 1,000 a day.

	Kinkakuji (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		In 1950 the Kinkakuji temple in Kyoto, known also as the "Temple of the Golden Pavilion" -- one of the most famous and most beautiful of all Zen Buddhist temples -- was burned to the ground by a crazed acolyte who served there.
		The burning of the Kinkakuji temple and its subsequent rebuilding fascinate me because I think that they show the ambivalent relations between tradition and modernism which characterize all societies -- and not just that of Japan.
		The temple was burned down because an individual felt enslaved by the fetters of tradition and needed to sever them in order to be free; it was rebuilt in an exact copy because others felt a sense of social vertigo without the bonds of tradition to hold them in place.

		The grounds around Kinkakuji were almost completely covered with moss.
		Before we left the pond area to go behind Kinkakuji, I zoomed as far as I could to catch a snapshot of this bird on a rock.
		Behind Kinkakuji was not only a tea ceremony house, but also what looked more like a "real" temple.

		But the Golden Pavilion has given the temple the more popular name of Kinkaku-ji.

	Japan Trip- Spring 2001
		We visited two famous temples while in Kyoto: Kinkakuji and Ginkakuji ("Ji" means "temple").
		If I remember correctly, the builder ran out of money before he could add that final touch.
		However, Kinkakuji impressed me as being a bit overwhelming, and the mist made at least the roof of Ginkakuji look silver.
