Heirin-ji

The Heirin-ji (平林寺) is a Buddhist temple Japanese located in the town of Niiza (新座), in the neighborhoods of Tokyo. It is the largest temple of Buddhism Zen of the sect Rinzai in the area of the Kantô. It was built in 1375 by Sekishitsu Zenkyu, the founder of other temples such as the Engaku-ji and the Tenryû-ji. As much of other temples Zen , the principal buildings are laid out in straight line.

The gardens are remarkable for their maple S, or kaede （楓）, in autumn and for the flowering of its EMU (梅, apricot trees) at the beginning of spring. The bell, during the flowering of EMU , inspired Yoshida Toshi (吉田遠志) for one of its Estampe S.
