    Temple of the Shingon sect

    Original Text

    It is said to be the oldest wooden building in Okayama Prefecture. It was said that it was the Tendai sect in the Kamakura period, and it was replaced several times with the Shingon sect. It seems that it became a temple of the Shingon sect after around 1300. The three-storied pagoda is designated as a national important cultural property. The vermilion color looks very beautiful from a distance.

    It is a large five-storied pagoda located in Mimasaka City. It was red and very beautiful, and it was like seeing it in the city of Miyajima.

    A three-storied pagoda that can be seen from a distance

    Original Text

    It is said that the three-storied pagoda was dismantled and moved in 1951 due to the fire in 1918. The three-storied pagoda seen from a distance was bright red and looked very new, but it seems that it was built in the mid-Kamakura period. There is also a temple on the slopes of the mountains in a very orderly precinct. It was quiet and slow.

    The restored three-storied pagoda was wonderful.

    Original Text

    I went by a novel bonnet bus with the guidance of a tourist volunteer guide. I was impressed to see the inside of the three-storied pagoda ‼ The beautiful thing of the colorful vermilion tower. With a little red leaves set in the back of the tree 々, the male figure is very vivid! !! It was a beauty that I never got tired of seeing.

    The vividness of vermilion

    Original Text

    The well-maintained shrines and temples purify the feelings of the worshipers. The temple here is one of them. The bright vermilion tower is impressive. No matter how beautiful the temple architecture is, if there is no accumulation of history, the charm will be halved, but the vermilion paint here was wonderful in the blue sky.
