Jimyō-in, Former Buddhist temple and residence in Heian-kyō, Japan
Jimyō-in stood within the structured grid system of Heian-kyō, following the city's organized layout of major and minor streets.
The temple functioned during the period when Heian-kyō served as Japan's imperial capital from 794 to 1868, reflecting the city's religious significance.
The architectural design of Jimyō-in incorporated elements from both Buddhist temple traditions and residential structures of the Heian period.
The location of Jimyō-in within Heian-kyō's street network provided access to both the East and West Markets for supplies and resources.
The dual purpose of Jimyō-in as both a Buddhist temple and residence demonstrated the integration of religious and domestic spaces in Heian-kyō.
