I was surprised today to notice that the huge main gate of the\nChion'in Temple<\/a> (Kyoto, Japan) is in the process of getting a huge<\/span>\nwooden scaffolding. It\nseems<\/a> that it'll be having its roof tiles repaired for the next couple\nof months.<\/p>\n\n

As I mentioned in a recent post, this place has a lot<\/i> of flights of stairs<\/a>. The flight<\/span> seen above, parallel off to the side of the main flight that goes through the big gate, is now used as the main way to the temple proper.<\/p>\n\n

From up the stairs a bit, looking back toward the back of the main gate...<\/p>\n\n
