Manpuku-ji, Buddhist temple in Uji, Japan
The temple buildings follow Ming Dynasty architectural designs, forming a layout that creates the silhouette of a dragon across the grounds.
Chinese monk Yinyuan Longqi established Manpuku-ji in 1661, and Chinese monks led the temple for thirteen generations until 1739.
The temple maintains traditional practices including zazen meditation sessions, sutra copying activities, and vegetarian Chinese cuisine preparation for visitors.
Located five minutes from Obaku Station, the temple opens daily and offers guided tours through its halls, gardens, and ceremonial spaces.
The temple preserves 60,000 wooden printing blocks from 1678, which are still used today to produce Buddhist texts and sutras.
