Another detail from Tenryu-ji temple, Arashiyama, Kyoto.
Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!
@Inés: Peut-être Inés... like gargoyles in European architectural tradition?

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
I love this figure. The big grin and bulging eyes seems to be an image in common with various pacific ocean tribes, like the Maori in New Zealand. Do you know if there is any connection in this art work?

@Twelvebit: I don't think so Twelvebit. This is a very common 'monster' or demon face in Japan, a motif seen everywhere. Don't know the story behind it though...
@Alfredo J. Martiz J.: Thanks Alfredo!
