Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion Temple) is the informal name of
Rokuon-ji (Deer Garden Temple) in Kyoto, Japan. It was originally built in 1397
to serve as a retirement villa for Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, as part of his
estate then known as Kitayama.
The Golden Pavilion, or Kinkaku, is a three-story building on
the grounds of the temple. The top two stories of the pavilion are covered with
pure gold leaf. The pavilion functions as a shariden, housing relics of the
Buddha. On the roof is a golden fenghuang or "Chinese phoenix".
