EspañolTōFUKU-JI
(Redirected from Tofuku-ji)
is a Buddhist temple in Higashiyama-ku in Kyoto city.
The Tōfuku-ji temple was established in 1236 AD by the Chancellor Kujō Michiie, who designated the founding priest as (1201–1280) in 1243 AD. It is a part of the Rinzai school, one of the two major Japanese Zen sects. It is considered to be one of the five major Zen temples in Kyoto city. Tōfuku-ji was intended to compete with the Tōdai-ji and Kōfuku-ji temples in Nara, and as such its name is a combination of characters from both of those temples.
Tōfuku-ji's is noteworthy as the oldest Zen main gate in all Japan.
Currently, the Tōfuku-ji complex includes 24 subtemples, though in the past the number has been as high as 53.
The temple features a large number of Japanese Maple trees, and is most crowded during the autumn season when people flock to see the autumn foliage. It is traditional to view the leaves from the Tsūten-kyō bridge.
