Daisen-in
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daisen-in (大仙院) is a subtemple in the compound of Daitoku-ji. It was built between 1509 and 1513. Although the subtemple is founded by a Zen priest, Kogaku (1464-1584), the screen paintings (Fusuma) inside the temple and the garden are attributed to Soami, an ink landscape painter. Which has more influence from Taoist and Confucius teachings being that the style comes from Song Dynasty ink painting. The interpretations of the gardens at Daisen-in however are of Zen Buddhist and Feng shui influence.
Daisen-in is notable for its vivid, intentional imitation of Chinese and Japanese landscape paintings.
