The Golden Age of Kyoto

Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Kyoto, Japan 2014.

 

The temple was founded in 798, and its present buildings were constructed in 1633.

 

There is not a single nail used in the entire structure.

 

It takes its name from the waterfall within the complex, which runs off the nearby hills. Kiyomizu means clear water, or pure water.
