Zuishin-in Pond Garden - Zuishin-in is a quiet temple removed from the Kyoto city center in Yamashina. The temple is also called the Mandala Temple after a legend in which the founding priest’s mother had been reincarnated and had a priest make a mandala. The famous poet Ono no Komachi is also strongly connected to this temple, and items related to her are scattered around the temple halls and the gardens.  The garden is known for its small pond and abundant use of moss. Zuishin-in’s appeal is in its seclusion, with the exception of the famous flowering plum season for which it is known. Zuishinin temple belongs to the Shingon sect of Buddhism
