Senjōkaku, also known as the "Pavilion of 1,000 Tatami Mats," is a large wooden hall located on the sacred island of Itsukushima in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. It was commissioned by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a prominent daimyo of the late 16th century, as a Buddhist library to house sutras and other religious texts. Although construction began in 1587, the hall remains unfinished following Hideyoshi's death in 1598, which led to the cessation of work. Despite its incomplete state, Senjōkaku is admired for its spacious interior, serene atmosphere, and architectural beauty.
