Jukō-in, Buddhist temple at Daitoku-ji complex in Kita-ku, Japan

The temple features screen paintings by Kano School artists, including 42 wall panels depicting birds, flowers, and landscapes from the Momoyama period.

The temple was established in 1566 by Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to honor his father, with Shorei Sokin appointed as the founding priest.

The temple serves as the family temple for the three branches of the Senke schools of tea ceremony, containing the graves of Sen no Rikyu and his descendants.

The temple maintains limited public access, but visitors can arrange special viewings of the main hall, tea rooms, and gardens through advance reservations.

The Masutoko-seki and Kanin-seki tea rooms, designated as Important Cultural Properties, showcase distinct architectural elements from the tea ceremony tradition.
