Kinkaku-ji, the golden pavilion, Kyoto Round Pillow
Kinkakuji or the Golden Pavilion is a Zen temple in northern Kyoto whose top two floors are completely covered in gold leaf. Formally known as Rokuonji, the temple was the retirement villa of the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and according to his will it became a Zen temple of the Rinzai sect after his death in 1408.
Kinkakuji was the inspiration for the similarly named Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion), built by Yoshimitsu's grandson, Ashikaga Yoshimasa, on the other side of the city a few decades later.
Kinkakuji is an impressive structure built overlooking a large pond, and is the only building left of Yoshimitsu's former retirement complex.
It has burned down numerous times throughout its history including twice during the Onin War, a civil war that destroyed much of Kyoto; and once again more recently in 1950 when it was set on fire by a fanatic monk. The present structure was rebuilt in 1955.

Brushed Polyester Round Throw Pillow 41 x 41 cm

I am pleased with this product, although there are a few minor points. It seems the fabric weaves are a bit large, which means the details of any text based photo will become slightly blurry. I'm not sure if this is printer related, but rather trying to print on the particular type of material. The zipper and seams were well made, and the prints were equal on both sides. The pillow circumference is not perfectly smooth, there are ridges (as seen in the stock photos). I did find my pillow didn't have the most even distribution of polyester, such that the top half was very round and lovely, but the bottom end had more kinds and could do with more stuffing (which I think I can easily do!). The colours came out as expected and quiet lovely. However the main focal point of the pillow (a vector black text image) was printed slightly blurry. The background colours and textures were true to the design. Reminder: Always expect less vibrancy than what is seen on the screen.
