Along with Byodo-in Temple Ho-o-do
(Phoenix Hall), Chuson-ji Temple Konjiki-do (Golden Hall) is one of the
most famous structures from the late Heian period. It is a brilliant
Buddhist temple with a hall that is embossed with gold leaf on both the
interior and exterior. It was built in 1124 by Oshu Fujiwara-shi (the
Northern Fujiwara clan) as a corner of Chuson-ji in Hiraizumi, Nishiiwai
District, Iwate Prefecture. It is a small Buddhist temple measuring
about 5.5 meters on each side. It originally sat outdoors in the open
air, but it is now enclosed in a wooden building that was built around
it to prevent further deterioration. Chuson-ji Temple Konjiki-do was
listed as a World Heritage Site in 2011.
