The rage

This sculpture, called 'Nio', was expressing a fierce rage against the enemies of Buddhism at the gate of Daigoji Temple.

Simple elegance

Daigoji Temple [a UNESCO World Heritage site] has some sub-temples around it. This is one of them and its entrance exhibits simple elegance.

Autumn splendour

I took this photo at Daigoji Temple where you can find a beautiful harmony of nature and Buddhist culture.

Perfect proportion

This is a five-storey pagoda of Daigoji Temple which was built in 951 with a height of 38m. I personally think structures of this kind are the most beautiful Buddhist monuments with the perfect proportion.

Curved roof

This photo shows the curved roof of Daigoji Temple, which I think is one of the most important elements to make the temple magnificent.

Protecting the temple

This is a sculpture of Nio at Daigoji Temple, which is stationed at the gate to prevent the enemies of Buddhism from entering the temple.

Autumn of the temple

This photo shows the gate of Daigoji Temple with its beautiful autumn trees. Daigoji has been on the list of UNESCO World Heritage and I strongly recommend this temple.
