Shomyo ji Temple, Yokohama　横浜　称名寺

Shomyo-ji Temple is one of the most famous temples from the Kamakura Era. It was established in 1258 as a family temple of Hojo Sanetoki, one of the major clans of the Kamakura Shogunate.
The beautiful Jodo-style garden, having a lake and a red arched bridge over it, expresses the ‘Land of Perfect Bliss’ in Buddhism. The bridge connects the world of Buddha with our human world.

My channel, Japan Silhouette, features beautiful scenery, traditional culture, Origami arrangement, and the warm heart of the Japanese people.

I also visit other countries and record my impression about them, perhaps from a Japanese perspective.

My blog is “Japan Silhouette” :

Japan Silhouetteでは、日本の美しい風景や美味しいもの、折り紙などの伝統文化、魅力的な建物、そして日本人の温かい心をお伝えしています。また時には、日本人の目を通して感じた海外の街の印象もお届けします。
