Temple Gate (Jan. 14, 2010)


Dear Stephanie

This is another photo of the temple gate. I am also sending it to you. I love this temple gate. It has just a few simple reliefs on the beam but the structure is strong and firm like an old Japanese samurai. The wooden structure makes you yearn and feel at ease. Don't you think so? There is a belfry upstairs. You will find the main temple when you go up the stone steps in front of you. Wooden culture in Japan has a long tradition and history. We have nice wooden culture here in Sugeo, but nobody is aware of it. Because people get used to seeing it too much. Anyway I love the temple gate. Of course I love you, I love you, I love you, Stephanie.
