		The exhibition chronicles the inception of Nanzenji from its origin as the detached palace of Emperor Kameyama, through its consecration as a Zen temple in 1291 and its Edo Period heyday as a cultural, devotional and political force, to its lessening of influence in the Meiji Era as the country opened up to foreign ideas.
		The important figures who populate Nanzenji's history are well represented, as in the Muromachi Period hanging scrolls depicting the founding abbot, Mukan Fumon (with an inscription by Emperor Gokashiwabara), and a portrait of the second abbot, Kian Soen (inscribed by Zekkai Chushin).
		There are also documents, such as "The Compiled Records of Nanzenji's Landholdings" and "Mandate Pertaining to Nanzenji Construction Issued by Muromachi Bakufu Administrator Hosokawa Yoriyuki" (both 15th century), though unlike the magnificent calligraphed sutras also on show, the appeal of these is strictly for the slice of history they provide.

	:: Metropolis Tokyo :: ART - Treasures of a Great Zen Temple: Nanzenji
		This show honors the 700th anniversary of Kameyama's death and traces the history of the temple and its important figures through its art-from the long gorilla arms of a 10th-century Heian Period wooden Bodhisattva to the 15th-century plans for the Buddha Hall (a series of dots and kanji) to gold Edo Period fusuma (sliding doors).
		This is the first time the treasures of Nanzenji and its subtemples have been shown in their entirety (though not all at once-many pieces are rotated).
		Nanzenji, literally "Southern Zen Temple," played an important role in the rise of Zen in Kyoto, and for much of its early history was considered more prestigious than the Gozan-the five major Zen temples of Kamakura and Kyoto.

		I live pretty close, and so had known for some time by the mind-numbing traffic what to expect, which is why Nanzenji was a path to get home and not our actual destination.
		This temple in the mountains behind the Kyoto Incline was just as beautiful as Nanzenji, but wonderfully uncrowded.
		The paths through the mountains in this area are fairly easy, and even Anthony could walk most of the way (what a trooper!) Toward the end, I carried him on my shoulders for a while, and then he got a special treat: a piggyback ride from Shimada-san.
