Ryushaku-ji

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Buddhist temple Ryūshaku-ji ( Japanese 立 石 寺 ), also Risshaku-ji , popularly also called Yama-dera ( 山寺 , "mountain temple") is located in Yamagata prefecture on the way from Yamagata to Sendai . The Buddhist mountain temple founded by the high priest Ennin in 860 AD is famous due to the mountain landscape with the bizarre rocks and the scattered temples. There is a picturesque landscape, especially in autumn the color of the leaves is impressive .

The great haiku poet Matsuo Bashō visited the temples and was delighted. Yamadera had a strong influence on Basho's work Oku no Hosomichi .
