Description
Kiyomizudo in Ueno Park is a small octagonal hall modeled on Kyoto's famous Kiyomizudera, built in the early seventeenth century by the temple complex of Kan'eiji. From its modest stage above Shinobazu Pond, the hall commanded a view similar to Kyoto's great cliff-top temple, making it a miniature sacred duplicate in the heart of old Edo. Koitsu renders the approach to the hall — its stone steps, paper lanterns, and the latticed eaves of the hall itself — in the intimate atmospheric mode he favored for smaller sacred structures.
