The layout of Manpuku-ji's structures and grounds is said to represent the abstract body of a dragon...the buildings and corridors its limbs, the paths its spine and scales, and the pond its gaping mouth.

A dragon dance in lantern form. Diamond shaped stones act as paths linking the main structures of Manpuku-ji together. Manpuku-ji's pond sits in front of the main gate. Straight, unbending paths link all of Manpuku-ji's great halls.

The ball in the fish's mouth represents 'bonnō' (煩悩), bad mental states (such as greed, jealousy and ignorance) that cloud one's mind.
Hitting the kaipan helps the fish 'spit out' the 'bonnō', the sound reminding the monks of their spiritual duties.

There is a hall in Manpukuji, a Buddhist temple complex in Uji, that is lined with statues of the Disciples of the Buddha. There is also a much smaller statue of Hotei, a member of Japan’s favorite septet, the Gods of Good Fortune. Hotei offers luck when you rub his belly.

Kyōto has many light-up events during the autumn, but Manpuku-ji's is something to behold.
As one might expect from one of the country's few Chinese-style temples, the colourful lanterns are heavily influenced by festivals on the mainland.

Lanterns in the shape of boys performing a dragon dance. Lining the path at Manpuku-ji, lanterns depicting heavenly attendants. Lanterns depicting courtly women admiring cherry blossoms under a full moon. A lantern monkey in a peach tree.

Statue of Rahula at Manpuku-ji, distinctive as it depicts him tearing open his stomach to reveal the head of Buddha within (symbolising the inherent Buddhahood in each one of us). Manpuku-ji's 'Treasure Hall'. The balustrades of the main hall have a broken down swastika design. Manpuku-ji's famed fish-shaped 'kaipan', rung as an alarm clock of sorts for temple monks.
