竹生島　宝厳寺　唐門

琵琶湖竹生島宝厳寺へ２０１０年に行ったとき、唐門の傷みが激しく哀れな状態になっていました。

宝厳寺のHPには以下のように説明されています。

当山の『唐門』、『観音堂』『舟廊下（渡廊高屋根・渡廊低屋根）』は昭和21年の全体修理以後、昭和47年に屋根の葺き替えを行ったのみで、全体修理はとしては実に67年を経過し（屋根のみでも41年ぶり）、飾り金具は金メッキが剥れ、彩色は剥落・退色が甚だしく、漆塗りに至ってはひび割れや劣化が進み多くの箇所で剥落も進んでいました。桧皮屋根も全体に苔の繁茂が見られ、腐朽が甚だしい状態となっていました。

When I went to Hogon-ji Temple on Chikubu Island, Lake Biwa in 2010, the Karamon gate was severely damaged and was in a pitiful state.

The website of Hogonji Temple explains as follows.

The roofs of "Karamon", "Kannon-do", and "Fune corridor (high roof and low roof of the corridor)" of our mountain were completely repaired after the entire repair in 1946, and the roof was only re-roofed in 1972. 67 years have passed (for the first time in 41 years even with the roof alone), the gold plating on the decorative metal fittings has peeled off, the coloring has been severely peeled off and faded, and the lacquer coating has progressed to cracks and deterioration, and peeling off in many places. I was there. The roof of the bark was also overgrown with moss, and it was in a state of severe decay.

再びHPより

この為、平成25年度より平成31年度までの6ヵ年の継続事業として、『唐門』『観音堂』『舟廊下(渡廊)』の檜皮屋根の全面葺き替え、彩色・漆塗りの塗り直し、及び飾り金具の鍍金メッキ仕上げを主な内容とした修理保存事業を行い、令和2年3月に完成しました。

修理が終わった唐門を見に１１／３文化の日に行ってきました。

彦根港から船に乗り約４０分で竹生島に到着です。

I went to see the repaired Karamon on November 3rd Culture Day.

It takes about 40 minutes by boat from Hikone Port to reach Chikubu Island.

From HP again

For this reason, as a 6-year continuous project from 2013 to 2019, the entire roof of the cypress bark of "Karamon", "Kannon-do", and "Fune corridor (crossing corridor)" was re-roofed, and recolored and lacquered. The repair and preservation business was carried out with the main contents of plating and plating of decorative metal fittings, and was completed in March 2nd year of Reiwa.
