Tesshū-ji, Buddhist temple in Shimizu-ku, Japan
The temple complex features elaborate carvings of airborne lions, birds, and a dragon beneath the eaves of its main ceremonial hall.
Founded during the Nara period as Kiyomi-dera, the temple underwent transformation in 1262 when monk Enni converted it to the Rinzai school.
The temple maintains a statue of Shaka Nyorai, representing the historical Buddha, as its principal object of reverence and meditation.
Located near three other temples in proximity to Shimizu station, the complex includes a bell pavilion and multiple paths for exploration.
In June 1887, the temple served as the location for a strategic planning conference of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
