DescriptionThe Hattō (Dharma Hall) stands at the center of Kennin-ji’s monastic compound. On the main altar sits Shaka Nyorai (Shakyamuni Buddha), flanked by the disciples Mahākāśyapa and Ānanda, forming the spiritual heart of this Zen temple. Overhead, Koizumi Junsaku’s monumental Twin Dragons spreads across the ceiling. The hall combines disciplined stillness with a powerful sense of solemn dignity.
