"Seirei" is a worship hall designed by architect Shin Takamatsu, part of the Myokenzan shrine complex. http://www.takamatsu.co.jp/
I've made it up to 500 images! I've now decided to drop 'Daroru' and go with 'Daryl'. Because that's my name.

@Saeed: Thank you Saeed!
I do like the use of wood here. Is wood an expensive building material in Japan?

@Gnarf: Cheers Gnarf!
It is the kind of structure that is a treasure for a photographer! One can exploit the lines and shapes from many angles and even create abstracts with parts of it! It looks interesting as an experiment in new architecture, but I wonder how well it fits into the shrine complex. As I saw in one you your later shots, the shrine has mainly traditional buildings. It makes me think of the Louvre and the pyramids........somehow.

@Japanalia: It was definitely a very striking place that contrasted strongly with the shrine complex. But it worked; I guess that was the idea!
Beautiful shot and architecture.
