妙林寺, Buddhist temple in Okayama, Japan
Myorin-ji temple stands in the Mimon Higashi district of northern Okayama city, featuring a grand main hall with a 990-square-meter roof.
The temple relocated to its current location in 1686, receiving a spacious 12,000-square-meter plot of land for its new premises.
The temple maintains regular ceremonies and rituals according to Nichiren Buddhist traditions, including New Year blessings and monthly religious observances.
The modern reception hall, completed in 1996, serves as a venue for ceremonies, including Buddhist funerals and traditional Japanese weddings.
The temple gate features doors crafted from single zelkova tree pieces and displays a nameplate written by renowned Edo-period calligrapher Sasaki Bunzan.
