You never know what you find inside some of Japan’s ancient temples, like the 800-hundred-year-old “Soryuzu,” a magnificent dragon ceiling mural found in Kyoto’s
Kennin-Ji Temple.

I loved that ceiling when I visited. The other parts of Kennin-ji had some interesting works as well.
Hi there, Lady Caladium, and thanks for visiting. Kennin-ji is one of my favorite place in Kyoto. This mural is just a small part of it.

Gorgeous!
Hi Patti … it’s pretty stunning up close and personal. when you first see it, you’re not really prepared for it. it takes a few seconds to realize how big it is.
You know, when you think of all the magnificent Asian art with dragons in it, you begin to believe there must surely have been dragons on earth once. Not to downgrade the fine abilities of the artists’ imaginations, I’m just sayin’….
Hi Victoria … who says there wasn’t?
