    Kinkaku-ji, the golden pavilion, Kyoto Magnet

    Kinkaku-ji, the golden pavilion, Kyoto Magnet

    Kinkakuji or the Golden Pavilion is a Zen temple in northern Kyoto whose top two floors are completely covered in gold leaf. Formally known as Rokuonji, the temple was the retirement villa of the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and according to his will it became a Zen temple of the Rinzai sect after his death in 1408. Kinkakuji was the inspiration for the similarly named Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion), built by Yoshimitsu's grandson, Ashikaga Yoshimasa, on the other side of the city a few decades later. Kinkakuji is an impressive structure built overlooking a large pond, and is the only building left of Yoshimitsu's former retirement complex. It has burned down numerous times throughout its history including twice during the Onin War, a civil war that destroyed much of Kyoto; and once again more recently in 1950 when it was set on fire by a fanatic monk. The present structure was rebuilt in 1955.

    I absolutely love this magnet featuring one of my favourite characters, Beatrix, from my favourite comic Breaking Cat News. The saying on this magnet is timeless! Printing quality is superb.

    I ordered thinking this was a New Zealand site (had a .co.nz address) not realising it was shipping from the UK. Have had to use other things for xmas presents as it's now Jan 2nd and they've still not arrived. I'll tell you if it ever gets here!
