This time, at the Takada Honzan Senjuji Temple in TsuCity, we will be holding a kaiseki meal called ``Yume-kō (Yume-kō)'' at the Otai-mensho, a nationally designated important cultural property that is not open to the public. We would like to introduce to you that you will be able to have a special visit where you will be able to enjoy the ``Mukoku''.

 

Takada Honzan Senshuji is the head temple of the Takada school of Shinshu Buddhism, which has more than 600 branches nationwide. Officially it is called ``Shinshu Takada-ha Honzan Senshuji,'' but it is affectionately known as ``Takada Honzan.'' It is a temple that inherits the teachings of Shinran Shonin, a monk from the Kamakura period, and houses many nationally designated important cultural properties such as Shinran Shonin's handwritten calligraphy.

This is Mieido. A wooden statue of Shinran, the founder of the sect, is placed on the central platform, and images of successive monks are placed on both sides and on both sides, making it a designated important cultural property of the country. . It has 725 tatami mats and is the fifth largest existing wooden building in Japan.

This is Tsutenkyo. It is a corridor that connects Miei-do Hall and Nyorai-do Hall next door, and has a raised floor as it hangs over the verandas of both halls. It is made of wood and has an open ceiling between all the pillars. The sight of the lights lit up at night is very magical.

The symbol of Takada Honzan Senshuji is the lotus. You can enjoy various kinds of lotuses on the premises, and it is also famous as a lotus temple. The main ingredient for this kaiseki meal, ``Yumeketsu,'' was ``lotus.'' The lotus, a beautiful flower that blooms from the mud, is a symbol of purity and cleanses the soul.

Kaiseki cuisine ``Yumeke'' is a dish that reflects Japan's four seasons, such as flowers in spring, greenery in summer, and the moon shining on the autumn leaves in autumn. You can enjoy Mie's rich natural blessings. One of the attractions is that you can enjoy your meals on beautiful tableware from Kyoto, Mino, Oribe, Seto, Arita, Shigaraki, and Iga, carefully selected according to the ingredients and season. You can spend a luxurious time ``slowly enjoying the food with all five senses''.

The ``Dream Prophecy'' is a dream message that Shinran received from Kannon when he was holed up in the Rokkakudo Temple in Kyoto after suffering a lot of worries. It is said that this message enabled Shinran to abandon his hesitations and discover the ``teachings of the Pure Land.''

This is "Otaimensho" where you can enjoy Kaiseki cuisine this time. It is a nationally designated important cultural property and is not open to the public. The Goenjo was originally called ``Shokenden,'' but it was called Goenjo because it was the place where the head priest met his followers until 1919.

On the wall of the meeting place, a magnificent giant pine tree and a pair of red-crowned cranes are depicted in harmony. The beauty of gold leaf is breathtaking.

During this special visit, you won't only be able to see the "Meeting Hall"! This is the shoin "Shishunkan" for entertaining distinguished guests. This shoin was newly built in 1896 for entertaining distinguished guests. Around the time this shoin was completed, it was announced that it would be used as the ``anzaisho'' for Emperor Meiji's visit, so it was named ``Shushunkan'' to celebrate this occasion.

This is the tea room "Anrakuan" from the early Edo period. The tea ceremony room consists of two buildings, the main seat and the abbreviated seat, and the main seat, Anraku-an, has unusual features such as a taiko-bari sliding door between the host and the audience seats. Please join us for a special viewing and see it up close. The origin of the name "Anrakuan" is also interesting.
