An artistic lighting of Manpuku-ji \u2013 Where Zen meets the Dragons of Light<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are delighted to announce a special light installation that we created together with the architectural firm GENETO<\/strong> (Kyoto\/Tokyo) designed. The installation takes place from 8 November 2025 to 8 February 2026<\/strong> at an extraordinary location: the Manpuku-ji Buddhist Temple<\/strong> in Kyoto, the main temple of the \u014cbaku school of Zen Buddhism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manpuku-ji was founded in 1661 by the Chinese monk Dragon's Lair<\/strong> founded and preserves to this day the architectural style of the Chinese Ming Dynasty. Last year, the temple was recognised as one of the few Zen temples in Japan with this architectural provenance. Japanese national treasure<\/strong> explains. It houses three national treasures and 20 important cultural assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our light installation transforms the temple complex at night into a poetic scene, where light itself becomes an artistic medium \u2013 an experience that combines history, spirituality, and contemporary design. After approximately 360 years, a symbolic \u201eLight Dragon\u201c will descend upon the temple during these nights.
