Camellia - a photo on Flickriver

Camellia

            Retired Emperor Gomizunoo (1596 - 1680) established this temple in 1654 and gave it the name Enjosan Reikan-ji. His daughter princess Johosshin-in-no-miya was the first abbess of this temple. In 1686 princess Fugen-in-no-miya moved the temple to its current place. The gate, entrance and shoin were donated by her father Emperor Go-Sai (1638 - 1685). In 1795 shogun Tokugawa Ienari (1773 - 1841) donated the main hall (Hondo). It became a tradition that princesses and granddaughters of Emperors served as priestesses at Reikan-ji. 
For that reason, this temple was also called 'The Royal Palace in valley'.
Until 1890 nuns of Fushimi Palace worked at the temple as Monzeki (priests of aristocratic or imperial lineage). 

This temple is famous for its camellia.

Kyoto, Japan.
