Water Temple by Tadao Ando
Awaji, Hyōgo, Japan
This building is
actually a Buddhist temple located in Japan. The structure's materials are fairly simple allowing the natural
elements surrounding and within it to be seen and felt. Aside from the aesthetic beauty of this
temple, the building in its entirety is symbolic. I will not attempt to explain
sacred symbolism these because I don't think I could do them the justice they
deserve. The Water Temple is an active and is home to Ninnaji Shingon, which in
the oldest branch of Tantric Buddhism in Japan
