Striking colour of the shrine


There are an uncountable number of shrines in Japan along with tons of temples. While some shrines look moderate, others have striking appearances like this one with a contrast between vermilion and white.

鮮やかな神社の色彩

こちらは大阪の玉造稲荷神社。大阪でも玉造というと何だか冴えない感じの町だがこの神社は朱と白の対照も鮮やかで美しい。

Our western churches can eb charming in their own ways, but I live those simple and elegant temples andhrines from Japan.
