Funda-in is a sub-temple of Tofukuji Temple,the head temple of the Tofukuji School of the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism. Its garden originally laid out by Sessyu(1420-1506),famous master of landscape ink painting during the Muromachi Period,is quite exceptional.
At the beginning of  the 14th century,Ichijo Uchitsune,the chief advisor to the Emperor at that time,invited Jozan Sozen,the dharma grandson of Shoichi Kokushi(founderf priest of Tofuku-ji Temple) ,to establish Funda-in.Since that time,it has remained the family temple of the Ichijo family and has had something of a dramatic history.Tragically,the main hall was actually burnt down not once,but twice,prompting the Empress Momozono to offer the former Imperial palace as a replacement site,with the present building complete through a rebuilding effort funded    by Empress Dowager Shoken in1899.
The southern garden laid out in the mid 15th century by Sesshu is called " Garden of Crane and a Turtle",and is oneof the oldest dry landscape gardens in Kyoto."Tsuru-jima"on the left represents a paper crane,and "Kame-jima"set on two levels to the right represents shape of turtle.
There are also a number of other attractions in this garden to delight the visitors,including the eastern garden created by the modern landscape artist,Shigemori Mirei,and the teahouse,Tonantei,which highlights the beauty of Zen. - Funda-in
