stuny Posted February 27, 2020 Share #19302 Posted February 27, 2020 Makes me think of the pagoda on Miajima Island near the temple Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Van der Herten Posted February 27, 2020 Share #19303 Posted February 27, 2020 Well seen, Stuart, this pagoda looks very much like the one on Miyajima. But Miyajima is about 750 km from Mt. Fuji, so look more to the east. The temple we're looking for is popular in Japan, and the kusa mochi sold near the entrance are famous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never visited Hofwijck, when I go, I’ll look out for the guide, thanks for the advice. The photos on the kitchen table were reproduced from a painting of the Huygens family in the collection of the Mauritshuis. https://www.mauritshuis.nl/en/explore/the-collection/artworks/portrait-of-constantijn-huygens-15961687-and-his-five-children-241/# Where are we now?

otto.f Posted March 8, 2020 Share #19305 Posted March 8, 2020 I would think Kyoto too, but didn’t find it there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Van der Herten Posted March 8, 2020 Share #19306 Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) Now we're getting closer, we're about 80 km southeast of Kyoto and about 60 km southeast of Osaka. One more detail: the pagoda is part of the main temple of a branch of Shingon Buddhism. Edited March 8, 2020 by Dirk Van der Herten Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAK Glasgow Posted March 13, 2020 Share #19308 Posted March 13, 2020 Could we be in Nara? It looks much more like Fukuoka? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Van der Herten Posted March 13, 2020 Share #19309 Posted March 13, 2020 Yes, we are close to Nara, in fact the temple is situated in the Nara prefecture. The branch of Buddhism of which this is the main temple, is called Shingon-shu Buzan-ha. Now it should be extremely easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Van der Herten Posted March 15, 2020 Share #19316 Posted March 15, 2020 Much better. It seems we're looking at a structure created by Patrick Dougherty, but he made so many all over the world, it is impossible to determine where you made your photo. Are we in Europe?
