Shōrin-ji, Buddhist temple in Toshima, Japan
The main hall of Shōrin-ji contains a large golden Amida Buddha statue surrounded by wooden carvings depicting birds and flowers.
Established in 1550 as a sub-temple of Tofukuji, Shōrin-ji emerged through the request of Kogaku Reisho, the 205th head priest.
The temple preserves a collection of sliding door paintings featuring tigers and maintains a standing statue of Bishamonten, the guardian of the north.
Visitors can reach Shōrin-ji through an 8-minute walk from JR Tofukuji Station or by taking city buses numbered 202, 207, or 208.
The temple provides materials and guidance for participants to engage in sutra copying and Buddhist image reproduction activities.
