Ninnaji - Screen Paintings
One of the most impressive features of the Omuro Gosho is the beautiful tatami and artwork on the screens. I have yet to verify this information, but I read that these screen paintings were done by court artist Zaizen Hara.
Ninna-ji is a Shingon temple with a beautiful array of gardens and architecture. It was originally founded in 886 and completed in 888. After being destroyed by fire during the Onin war, it was rebuilt with the aid of the third Tokugawa shogun, Iemitsu, in the early 1600's. It is an UNESCO world heritage site, and several of the structures are important cultural property. The Nio-mon is one of the Three Great gates of Kyoto.
