This image was taken in Kyoto, Japan, and is of Kiyomizu Temple. It is one of Kyoto's most famous landmarks, and is currently vying for title as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World (check out www.n7w.com). Also known as the Pure Water Temple, it was originally built in 798 by the Buddhist monk Enchin, of the Hosso Sect of Japanese Buddhism. Like Kinkakuji-Mae, the temple was burned down and rebuilt several times over the years, most recently in 1633. This image is of the Hondo, the main hall of the temple complex, whose veranda is supported by 139 wooden pillars.
