京都の智積院は、以前一度訪れたことがある。
宝物館に意外と無造作に展示されていた長谷川等伯とその一門の障壁画と、美しい庭園の印象が強く記憶に残っている。
この展覧会で、再びその障壁画と再開することができた。
他にも弘法大師像、張即之が書いた金剛経、両界種子曼荼羅図などの多くの名宝が展示されていて、とても興味深く観るすることができた。
また、これまで知らなかった智積院のことをよく知ることができた。
智積院はもともとは高野山の麓の根来寺の境内にあった。しかし豊臣秀吉によって根来寺が滅ぼされてしまい、その後、徳川家康によって京都に現在の地を与えられたという。
成田山新勝寺や川崎大師は、この智積院の系列の寺であることもこの展覧会で初めて知った。
いつか、再び京都の智積院を訪れて、あの美しい庭園をまた見てみたいと思いながら会場を後にした。
I have visited Chishaku-in Temple in Kyoto once before.
The wall paintings of Tohaku Hasegawa and his family, which were unexpectedly casually displayed in the Treasure Museum, and the beautiful garden left a strong impression on me.
In this exhibition, I was able to resume with the wall paintings again.
In addition, many famous treasures such as the statue of Kobo Daishi, the Kongo Sutra written by Zhang Sokuji, and the Seed Mandala of the Two Worlds were on display, and I was able to see them with great interest.
Also, I was able to learn a lot about Chishaku-in Temple that I had not known before.
Chishaku-in Temple was originally located in the precincts of Negoro-ji Temple at the foot of Mt. Koya. However, Negoro-ji Temple was destroyed by Hideyoshi Toyotomi, and after that, Ieyasu Tokugawa gave the current place in Kyoto.
It was also through this exhibition that I learned for the first time that Naritasan Shinshoji and Kawasaki Daishi are temples affiliated with Chishakuin.
I left the venue thinking that someday I would like to visit Chishaku-in Temple again in Kyoto and see that beautiful garden again.
