Shokoku-ji is  the second of the five leading Rinzai Zen temples in Kyoto that were built during the medieval Muromachi period.

The Temple’s Hatto is presently the oldest building of its type in Japan and designated as an Important Cultural Property. There is a dragon on the celling. This painting was drawn by Kano Mitsunobu and this dragon often known as “Naki-Ryu(Crying Dragon)” because you can hear a resonance when you clap your hands under the dragon.
