Koke-ji (Moss Temple) / Suzumushi-ji (Cricket Temple)
京都市西京区松尾神ケ谷町
A temple commonly known as Koke-ji (Moss Temple), famous for its garden covered in approximately 120 species of moss. It is also registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
History
According to tradition, in 731 CE (Tenpyo 3), the villa was converted into a temple by the monk Gyoki, who received an imperial edict from Emperor Shomu. During the Kamakura period, it was converted to the Jodo sect by Honen. Later, during the Muromachi period, it was revived by Setsu Shinshu, who converted it to the Rinzai sect. At this time, Muso Soseki designed the garden, and the temple name was changed to Saiho-ji.
