Japanese Laputa
If you don’t know the building, you are NOT Japanese.
And many tourists visiting Japan know it.
Needless to say, this is Kiyomizu Temple (清水寺) .
The building looks like Laputa(Castle in the sky),
don’t you?
This temple was firstly built in 778.
It was sometimes burned out and rebuilt in 1633
by third tycoon “Yoshimitsu Tokugawa (徳川義光)”.
From then, it continues to this day to be retained.
It is built at steep slope of Higashiyama(東山)
and the building method is called Kakezukuri(懸造り).
This makes the building look like Laputa.
The posts and joists are regid-jointed with each other
by wedge, and consist of large framework like bent.
To be surprised, it is used “No nail” and be supported
by only 139 posts.
