English

Stepped into Kurohime's shrine in early autumn and got completely lost in the carpentry. Those dark timber beams, the gold-trimmed altar, those perfect family crests on the fabric — everything feels so intentional, so alive. Japan's shrine architecture really hits different when you're standing right under it. 🏯

日本語

初秋の黒姫の神社に足を踏み入れたら、見事な大工仕事に釘付けになった。暗い木材の梁、金色で縁どられた祭壇、布に描かれた完璧な家紋——すべてが本当に意図的で、息づいているように感じられた。日本の神社建築は、その真下に立つとまた違う迫力だな!!
