Sekisuiin

Sekisuiin is the only building remaining at Kosanji from the time of founder Myoe (1173–1232). With its one-story hip-and-gable roof, it remains a prime example of Kamakura-period (1185–1333) architecture. Today, Sekisuiin is the center of temple activities and home to many of its most famous artworks.

Near the west entrance is a small wooden statue of the bodhisattva Zenzai-doji (Sanskrit: Sudhana). Myoe loved the story of Zenzai-doji’s journey on the path of enlightenment. This statue recreates an image that Myoe is believed to have kept in his living quarters.

The emperor’s decree ordering the temple founding, including lines from the Flower Garland Sutra that gave Kosanji its name, hangs in the southern part of Sekisuiin. A view of Mt. Mukai and the Kiyotaki River to the south is framed by wooden pillars and latticed shutters.

Sekisuiin was originally intended for the storage of sutras and located to the east of Kosanji’s main hall, or Kondo. A flood in 1228 destroyed the original structure, but it was later replaced using a residence that formerly stood on the grounds of the court. Kasuga Daimyojin and Sumiyoshi Myojin, Shinto deities that were particularly important to Myoe, were enshrined at Sekisuiin after its reconstruction. At that time, Shinto and Buddhism were loosely integrated, and Shinto deities were often interpreted as manifestations of Buddhist deities.

In 1889, Sekisuiin was dismantled and reconstructed at its present location.

石水院

知名賞楓勝地石水院，是高山寺保留至今的唯一一座與開山祖師明惠（1173-1232）同一時期的建築。其單層歇山式屋頂設計是鎌倉時代（1185-1333）建築的特色。目前，石水院作為高山寺寺院活動的中心，收藏眾多舉世聞名的藝術作品。

西側入口附近有一尊小型木雕菩薩像，名為善財童子（梵語：Sudhana）。善財童子曾四處修行以求開悟，是明惠非常尊敬的榜樣。如今所見的善財童子像是複製品，重現過去明惠住處中擺設的雕像。

石水院南側掛有天皇下令建寺的御筆匾額，上面題有《華嚴經》其中一節，為高山寺之名的由來。隔著木柱及格子狀的擋雨板望去，南側的向山與清瀧川彷彿置於畫框之中，動人景緻化作一幅風景畫。

石水院曾經位於高山寺金堂（本堂）東側，原本為保管經文而建。1228年，建築遭洪水破壞，其後利用朝廷用地內的住宅重建。重建後的石水院奉祀春日大明神及住吉明神，兩者皆是對明惠舉足輕重的神道神祇。當時神道教與佛教間界線寬松，互為融合，不少說法認為神道教眾神即是佛教眾神的化身。

1889年，石水院遷築至目前所在地。
