Shōfuku-ji, Buddhist temple in Nagasaki, Japan.
The temple structure incorporates traditional Buddhist architecture with curved pent roofs, cusped windows, and paneled doors following Zen principles.
Founded in 1677 during the Edo period, Shōfuku-ji temple represents a period of religious growth and architectural development in Nagasaki.
Three golden Buddha statues stand inside the Buddhist sanctum, representing the flow of time through past, present, and future manifestations.
Visitors can reach the temple grounds by taking a local bus from Nagasaki Station and walking through the surrounding residential neighborhood.
The temple's garden features a distinctive gourd-shaped pond called Musen-ike, which adds to the spatial composition of the grounds.
