Bairinji Temple
📍 KyotoBairinji has Shaka Nyorai as its principal image and is a Rinzai Zen temple founded in the Muromachi period by the priest Kakuin Shinnyo. Its treasure is a dotaku bell excavated from the summit of Mount Bikuni — a fine example 107 centimetres high, its surface incised with the crossed-band pattern. It dates from the late Yayoi period and is a national Important Cultural Property. Ordinary visitors are allowed to strike the temple bell here.
