„Once you have seen one temple, you have seen them all“ – I Totally Disagree With That Statement.

I just returned from another temple and discovered new details I haven’t seen before:

…the focus on an artist (Uncho Ishikawa) who was responsible for the incredible wooden carvings of the temple…

…a big building structure that protects the old temple! The temple officially opened in 1534.

An Outstanding Sculptor And Painter: Uncho Ishikawa (1814-1883).

Beautiful monument at Seifukuji temple. It portraits the artist in action. He was a master craftsman during the Edo period (1603-1868).

Get six-pack abs like him! ;)

It’s one of the muscular guardians in front of a Buddhist temple. My friends Yuka and Hiro invited me to join them by car to Seifukuji temple (Uonuma). It’s definitely a place to be.

Fireworks near Chosei Bridge.

Fireworks have taken on a whole new meaning to me in Japan. Japanese people know how to entertain the public (but won’t forget to link it to a serious background story). Nagaoka fireworks is the second largest fireworks in Japan. Only Omagari has a even bigger fireworks where pyrotechnicans compete against one another. The mentioned bridge is located in the city of Nagaoka and was completed in 1934. #japan #history #commemoration #seetheworld
