Japan 10 Yen Coin Pendant Phoenix Hall Buddhist temple. Great Gift 🎁. FEATURING front: Phoenix Hall of Byōdō-in, a Buddhist temple in Uji, Kyoto prefecture This temple was originally built in 998 in the Heian period as a rural villa of high-ranking courtier Minamoto no Shigenobu, Minister of the Left. The villa was made into a Buddhist temple by Fujiwara no Yorimichi in 1052. The most famous building in the temple is the Phoenix Hall (鳳凰堂 Hōō-dō) or the Amida Hall, constructed in 1053. It is the only remaining original building, surrounded by a scenic pond; additional buildings making up the compound were burnt down during a civil war in 1336. The main building in Byōdō-in, the Phoenix Hall consists of a central hall, flanked by twin wing corridors on both sides of the central hall, and a tail corridor. The central hall houses an image of Amida Buddha. The roof of the hall displays statues of the Chinese phoenix, called hōō in Japanese. • quantity 1 • polished Bronze coin • diameter: 23.5 mm • weight: 4.5 g • comes with a 24" brass ball chain Buddhist temple Phoenix Hall coin jewelry Japanese pendants Japanese temple Byōdō-in temple Jōdo-shū Uji city Tendai-shū sect Kyoto Amida Buddha Amida hall Kansai region
