Japanese: なお、金閣と通称される鹿苑寺舎利殿には金箔が貼り付けられているのに対し、銀閣と通称される慈照寺観音殿には銀は使用されていないが、全体に漆が塗られていたと考えられている。

Japanese: 平成20年2月から2年間の予定で修理中であり、銀閣そのものは見られない。
English: The 8th Shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate Yoshimasa ASHIKAGA (1436-1490) resigned his position in favor of his heir Yoshihisa ASHIKAGA in 1473, and in 1482 he began construction of his villa named Higashiyama sanso (Higashiyama-dono) on the foothills of Mt. Tsukimachi-yama in Higashiyama (Kyoto Prefecture).
Japanese: 室町幕府8代将軍足利義政(1436-1490)は、1473年（文明(日本)5年）、嗣子足利義尚に将軍職を譲り、1482年（文明14年）から、東山(京都府)の月待山麓に東山山荘（東山殿）の造営を始めた。

Japanese: 造営工事は義政の死の直前まで8年にわたって続けられたが、義政自身は山荘の完成を待たず、工事開始の翌年である1483年（文明15年）にはここに移り住んでいた。
English: The Higashiyama-dono villa included large-scale buildings such as meeting houses or noble family residences and, although it was not as large as Yoshimitsu ASHIKAGA's Kitayama-dono villa (that later became Rokuon-ji Temple), it also had a certain political function.
Japanese: 東山殿には会所、常御所（つねのごしょ）などの大規模な建物が建ち、足利義満の北山殿（後の鹿苑寺）ほどではないが、ある程度政治的機能ももっていた。
English: In February 1490, Higashiyama-dono villa was transformed into a temple as a memorial to the death of Yoshimasa in the same year, became a branch temple of the Shokoku-ji Temple and was called Jisho-ji Temple.
Japanese: 1490年（延徳2年）2月、同年に死去した義政の菩提を弔うため東山殿を寺に改め、相国寺の末寺として創始されたのが慈照寺である。
English: During the latter stage of the Sengoku Period, the site became the villa of the former chief advisor to the Emperor, Sakihisa KONOE, but this was due to the fact that many of the successive chief priests of Jisho-ji Temple were of the Konoe family.
Japanese: 戦国時代(日本)末期には前関白近衛前久の別荘にもなったが、これは慈照寺の歴代住持に近衛家出身者が多かったことによる。

English: The two piles of sand known as "Ginshadan" and "Kogetsudai" also took on their current shapes during the latter part of the Edo Period.
Japanese: 「銀沙灘」（ぎんしゃだん）、「向月台」と称される2つの砂盛りも、今のような形になったのは江戸時代後期とされている。
English: The dry landscape garden on the eastern hillside was excavated in 1931 so retains the original look of the Muromachi Period.

English: It is assumed that this structure originally in a more southerly position close to Ginkaku.
Japanese: なお、創建当時は現在位置より南方の銀閣に近い位置に建てられていたと推定されている。
English: Ginkaku is the popular name for the Kannonden Hall of Yoshimasa ASHIKAGA's Higashiyama-dono villa and was given this nickname as a comparison to the Rokuon-ji Temple constructed by his grandfather, the third Shogun of the Ashikaga Shogunate Yoshimitsu ASHIKAGA.
Japanese: 銀閣は、足利義政の山荘東山殿に造営された観音殿のことで、義政の祖父・3代将軍足利義満が建てた鹿苑寺と対比されて用いられる通称である。
English: It is known that construction began in 1489 and is thought have been completed soon in the same year.
Japanese: 1489年（延徳元年）に上棟されたことがわかっており、同年をさほど隔てない頃に完成したと思われる。

Japanese: 重層、宝形造、柿（こけら）葺で、平面は長方形で正面8.2m、奥行7.0m。
English: The ground floor (known as 'Shinkuden') is in a domestic style and the upper level (known as 'Choonkaku') is a roughly 5.5m (with three bays at the front and back) Zen style (Chinese architectural style) Buddha hall.
Japanese: 初層の「心空殿」は住宅風、上層の「潮音閣」は方3間（柱間の数が正面・側面とも3つ）の禅宗様（唐様）の仏堂である。
English: The building incorporates design elements from the Shoinzukuri style of Japanese housing and is representative of Higashiyama culture.
Japanese: 書院造につながる和風の住宅風意匠が取り込まれており、東山文化の代表的建築物である。
English: As the name suggests, Rokuon-ji Temple's Kinkaku (Gold Pavilion) is covered in gold leaf but there are no traces that Ginkaku (Silver Pavilion) was ever covered in silver leaf (on January 5, 2007 it was announced that a scientific investigation detected absolutely no traces of silver foil).
Japanese: 鹿苑寺金閣が文字どおり金箔を貼った建物であるのに対し、銀閣には銀箔を貼った痕跡はない（2007年1月5日には科学的調査によって銀箔が全く検出されなかったことが発表された）。
English: Considering that the gardens of Jisho-ji Temple contain many famous stones and trees with absolutely no expense spared in their design, and also that the Higashiyama culture of the period was based on the simplicity of the tea ceremony and Zen, it is highly likely that never were any plans to cover the structure in silver leaf.
Japanese: 慈照寺の庭園には多くの名石、名木が配され、建材にも贅を尽くしていること、当時の東山文化が茶道趣味と禅宗文化を基調にしたものであったことを考えると、当初から銀箔を貼る計画はなかった可能性が高い。
English: It has been said that there were originally plans to use silver leaf as the name suggests and that these were prevented by the financial circumstances of the Shogunate or the death of Yoshimasa, but these are little more than rumors.
Japanese: 「当初は名前のとおり銀を貼る予定だったが、幕府の財政事情のためにできなかった」という説や、「銀箔を貼る予定であったが、その前に義政が他界してしまった」という説もあるが、俗説に過ぎない。
English: It is also said that Yosimasa's wife Tomiko HINO did not make any financial contribution.
