GINKAKU-JI WAS BUILT 1482 BY SHOGUM ASHIKAGA YOSHIMASA ORIGINALLY AS A RESTING HOUSE.
YOSHIMASA DESIGNED THE BUILDING TO LOOK LIKE A GOLDEN PAVILION (KINKAKU-JI)
SMALLER AND HUMBERER THAN WHAT HIS GRANDFATHER, ASHIKAGA YOSHIMITSU, HAD ORDERED.
GINKAKU-JI SHOULD BE COVERED WITH SILVER LEAVES; HOWEVER, THIS WAS NEVER DONE.
THE STRUCTURE IS BELIEVED TO LOOK LIKE THE ONE YOSHIMASA LAST SAW.
AFTER YOSHIMASA'S DEATH IN 1490, THE NATIONAL HOUSE WAS TRANSFORMED INTO A ZEN TEMPLE AT HIS REQUEST.
