Golden Fusuma and Tatami
Tatami with Golden Fusuma at Shunkoin, a subtemple of Myoshinji Temple, was one of the most important places for Japanese Zen Buddhism in the early 20th century. Several sliding door panels at Shunkoin were painted by Eigaku Kano of the renowned Kano School of painting. Some of the paintings have Confucian themes as Confucianism was important to samurai during the Edo period when these paintings were made.
