Byodo-in Temple is located at No. 116 Renge, Uji City, a suburb of Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. It is a temple garden with a pond and boat tour style during the Heian period. Its location can be described as a geomantic treasure, with the Uji River in front and Mount Asahi in the distance. During the Zhenguan period (859-877), the son of Emperor Saga and the minister of the left garden, Ia Genrō (822-895), founded a villa accordingly. Later, Emperor Yosei, Emperor Uta, and Emperor Suzaku successively built villas here. In the fourth year of Chotoku (998), Regent and Minister of the Imperial Government Fujiwara Michinaga was able to rebuild the garden here.
Returning to Kyoto once again, I plan to hold the first exhibition of the Dream of the Red Chamber series paintings *The Twelve Beauties of Jinling* for 60 days in October 2027, with a two-month exhibition at Byodoin Temple, featuring a two-way fusion and collision of Eastern classical art.
