Photo collection – Japanese Buddhist Architecture

Buddhism is the next most practiced religion by Japanese, after the prominent Shinto. Because of this, we can spot many Buddhist temples and architecture in all over Japan, especially historical cities such as Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Tokyo and Kamakura.

I love architecture, I love photography and I believe in Buddhism. So here we have a photo of Japanese Buddhist Temple architecture, the Todaiji Temple of Nara, Japan. Japanese Buddhist temple has influences from Japanese culture and Shinto shrines architecture design, which looks more down to earth than glorious architecture design of those Buddhist temples in China, but I love it!
