This photo shows the Sanshoen Nison Hall, a columbarium attached to Myohoji Temple, a Jodo Shinshu Honganji sect temple in Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture. It was designed by a team led by architect Kazu Kumagai, son of Myohoji Temple's founder, and consisting of Archtank's Yasumasa Hayashi and Shinpei Kojima. The Sanshoen Nison Hall is a communal tomb, a roofed granite garden intended to connect with the Buddha, and its architecture complements Myohoji Temple's magnificent roofscape. Myohoji Temple's main hall boasts a majestic presence, so impressive that it has even been used as a filming location. The copper roof, draped over a three-dimensional curved surface in a granite garden at the edge of the temple grounds, blends seamlessly into the temple grounds, seemingly as if it were an original feature. However, its scale, materials, and contours create a striking contrast, seemingly echoing the temple's roofscape. The large curved roof, supported by four delicate, balancing legs, resembles a shrine, appearing larger with its joints. Despite its small size, the building has a powerful presence. It can hold eight coffins. During the shoot, I had many conversations with the architects, Kazu Kumagai and Yasumasa Hayashi, about which angle best represents the design intent and what time of day looks most beautiful, while watching the Nisondo Hall change from moment to moment.
