The new gate of Omika Jinja shrine
This traditional architecture can be said an excellent complex of structural mechanics and artistic effect.
You can feel art in functional beauty such as shapes of airplanes, cars, chairs and forks. Function and beauty is a mutual complement.

ReplyDeleteIt is so lovely that so many buildings are being preserved, here in America they cannot wait to tear down the old and put up crappy new.

Such an amazing and beautiful shrine!
ReplyDelete建築的藝術.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos of this magnificent place!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I so love the wood; it's very warm.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think that such beautiful traditional buildings were built nowadays. It looks beautiful, I've always been fascinated by Japanese art. Who knows, maybe I lived in those areas... and in those times.
ReplyDeleteNice help :))
It is believed to be the oldest sanctuary in Japan; one of its features is that no nails have been used in its construction. Its woods are assembled to have flexibility in case of a possible earthquake.
ReplyDeleteYou can see all the detail of the roof in that last photo. I enjoy seeing the different sites in your area. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHappy July days to you.

I'm glad there's updates on the shrine so it will stay longer.
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
This is quite lovely. It's interesting what you say about scientific progress and how it contributes towards better building techniques, for example better supporting the roof. They have done so while staying true to the traditional style and beauty of the structure
