*''Japanese'': 養源院 ''(Yougen-in)''
Yôgen-in is a small Buddhist temple near [[Sanjusangendo|Sanjûsangendô]] in Kyoto. The interior features paintings of lions, elephants, and [[kirin]] by [[Tawaraya Sotatsu|Tawaraya Sôtatsu]].
The ''[[fusuma]]'' sliding door paintings by Sôtatsu, commissioned in [[1621]], were his first commissions from the imperial court.
A portion of the ceiling at the temple is a reused section of the floor from [[Fushimi-Momoyama castle]]. Blood stains are still plainly evident on it from the [[1600]] [[siege of Fushimi castle]].
