Jishoji (Ginkakuji)

The silver pavilion established by Ashikaga Yoshimasa conveys the subtle aesthetic of wabi-sabi from ancient times to the present. Unlike its golden counterpart, the subdued gleam of silver reveals the beauty of emptiness, awakening the inner light that slumbers in the depths of the heart. Visitors learn the unadorned beauty of this place and find themselves guided toward boundless serenity.
