Rokkaku-do (Hexagonal Hall)
京都市山科区四ノ宮泉水町１６
A single temple of the Tendai sect, commonly known by its nickname Rokkaku-do (Hexagonal Hall) because its main hall is hexagonal in plan. It is also recognized as the birthplace of the Ikebana school of flower arrangement.
History
According to tradition, Prince Shotoku enshrined a statue of Juroku Kannon (Eleven-Faced Kannon) as his personal devotional image and constructed a hexagonal hall using sacred cedar wood. In the late Heian period, it was renowned as a sacred site for Kannon worship, and during the Kamakura period, it is known that Shinran practiced intensive meditation there. Excavation surveys have not detected any structures from the Asuka period, suggesting that the actual founding dates to around the late 10th century.
