The bell at Enryaku-ji

At one time this temple/monastery/fortress atop Mt. Hiea, above Kyoto, housed thousands of sobei, warrior monks, who were the bane of Emperor Go-Shirakawa.

 

Now, in spite of a constant stream of tens of thousands of visitors, it's a quiet, tranquil, place... except for the reverberations of the bell, of course. ;-)
