Kanagawa Kamakura Period
1185 – 1333
Engaku-ji's Ogane, cast in 1301, is Kamakura's largest temple bell and a National Treasure. A steep stone staircase climbs to its hilltop belfry and Mt. Fuji views.
This National Treasure colophon by Yuan literatus Feng Zizhen praises a lost insect scroll by Song painter Yi Yuanji. Sen no Rikyu's letter saved it from being cut.
