Yasaka Kōshin-dō, Buddhist temple in Higashiyama district, Kyoto, Japan
The temple features walls covered with colorful fabric balls called kukurizaru, creating patterns of bright decorative elements throughout the structure.
The temple dates back to the Heian period between 794 and 1185, incorporating elements from Buddhist, Taoist, and Shinto religious traditions.
Visitors write their wishes on kukurizaru fabric balls, which represent bound monkeys symbolizing the commitment to abandon negative habits.
Located near Kiyomizu-dera, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 9 AM to 5 PM without admission fees and permits photography.
The temple replaces traditional wooden ema tablets with fabric kukurizaru balls, making it different from other religious sites in Japan.
