Kennin-ji(建仁寺） is the oldest "zen(禅）"temple in Kyoto.
It is famous for"The Wind and Thunder Gods(風神雷神図屏風）"and "Twin Dragons(双龍図）".
The picture s "Twin Dragons" painting on the ceiling of the main hall.
You can't see the size of it on the picture.
But it is absolutely huge.
The size of it is 108 tatami(108畳）→11.4m×15.7m.
How many people can you fit on the painting?
Also it has been painted to commemorate the 800 year anniversary of Kennin-ji's founding by Junsaku Koizumu.
When you see it for long time, you will feel like being sucked on the painting.
I think it's definitely worth going to see it.
You will be overpowered with it!!
Kennin-ji temple is only 7mins walk from A-yado.
