Main Temple Hall

The main hall of the famed Ohara temple Hōsen-in, a Buddhist temple of the Tendai-shū sect, is located in Kyoto's Sakyō Ward. The temple is designated as a natural monument by the government. The standard tatami weave is the most common style and the colour will change to a golden hue over time. The tatami is free of chemical treatments and is hypoallergenic. The base helps with climate control by absorbing and expelling moisture, while the tatami traps carbon dioxide.
