DescriptionThe Hatto is the central hall of Nanzenji, a prestigious Zen temple ranked above Kyoto’s Five Mountains. It enshrines Shaka Nyorai and, within the expansive temple complex, conveys the taut stillness and refined dignity characteristic of Zen. Although Nanzenji is also famous for its Sanmon Gate and aqueduct, standing before the Hatto brings visitors closer to the temple’s original axis of prayer.
