Description
It was pouring down rain when I met my two friends across from the Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine in Osaka. While rain washed away the brilliance of the multicolored architectural decoration, its muted form still brought a sense of joy. Under our umbrellas we wandered freely about the large shine area with its many ancient wood structures and classic red arched bridge. The only sound was of the rain and a few ducks also wandering about enjoying various puddles. Having no large Buddha as its focal point, the beauty here was of the wonderful buildings. The wood craftsmanship which combines structure and decoration is nothing short of amazing. Traditional Japanese architectural design and detail can be so minimal in one place and very complex in another. The balance intrigues me. May my photo painting also bring you some intrigue and enjoyment.
