Fushimi Castle - Saikyoji

西教寺

The Kyakuden of the Saikyoji Temple was part of Hideyoshi's palace at Fushimi Castle. Due to some inexplainable cracks and out of shape joints, it is guessed that this had already been built prior to the 1596 earthquake that destroyed the first Fushimi Castle, Shizuki Castle. It was donated to Saikyoji in 1598. The hall is also decorate with paintings from the Kano School. It goes without saying that this building and paintings are Important Cultural Properties.
