相国寺浮世絵展覧会Just behind Kyoto's Doshisha University is Shokokuji Temple.
It was founded in 1382 by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and is one of the "Kyoto Gozan": "five great Zen temples of Kyoto.
Shokokuki is also one of more than ten branches of the Rinzai school of Japanese Zen. It was completely destroyed in 1394 by fire. It was rebuilt thereafter - and has been rebuilt several times since.
Within the grounds of the temple complex is also a museum. It is currently showing a fine exhibit of ukiyoe wood block prints from the MKG (Museum fur Kunst und Gewebe), in Hamburg, Germany.
It features works by Hiroshige, Hokusai, Harunobu, and Kuniyoshi.
