Introduction

Fudōin is a Tendai temple in Hiroshima famed for its National-Treasure hondō (hall) — its gorgeous Momoyama-style carvings and gilt finish are a representative work of Azuchi-Momoyama architecture. Old trees keep the grounds quiet, a wall apart from the bustling city — a rare heavyweight old building in Hiroshima.
