This project is located on a terrace that juts out into a rice field in the lowlands of the Tone River basin, which was once known for its scenic pine forests.
The project began with a study to renovate the Buddhist ceremonial hall, which is one of the buildings of the temple that was relocated 140 years ago.
However, as a result of the renovation survey, the foundation and building were found to be distorted beyond the limits of renovation, so it was decided to construct a new ceremony hall.
The new design includes two ceremonial halls for congratulations and condolences, and a floor plan that can be linked with other facilities within the temple grounds in the future. As for the building materials, materials from the old building were reused in the visible parts of the structure, with the intention of passing on the memories of the area and the temple to the next generation.
In addition, the exterior uses cedar wood, which is popular in this area, to enhance its affinity with the local area, and the cedar lattice door finished with traditional paint based on pine ash ink create a tranquil atmosphere within the temple grounds.
With the completion of this project, we were able to preserve a symbolic architecture that serves as a spiritual anchor for the community for the future.
