01 / 이 장소의 역사
A quiet culture after a time of war
Ginkaku-ji began as the Higashiyama retirement villa of Ashikaga Yoshimasa. Yoshimasa's era was marked by conflict, yet the villa became associated with tea, ink painting, garden design and the refined culture later called Higashiyama culture. The pavilion was intended to be silver but remained unfinished. Over time, weathered wood, moonlit surfaces and carefully composed sand made restraint more important than shine.
