Wrapped in an arch of roses 　　　　　　　　　　Tokyo Tower🗼 This is one photo taken from Shiba Park, Minato-ku, Tokyo. Since its opening in 1958, it has been watching over the city as a symbol of Tokyo for about 60 years. It is said that the construction technology of that time is so advanced that it is said that it cannot be reproduced now. It has been earthquake-resistant for more than 60 years in Japan, an earthquake-prone country, and I felt that it was the crystallization of craftsmanship. Why don't you enjoy matching with modern roses? 🌹

At Kenfukuji Temple in Takato-cho, Ina City, Nagano Prefecture, there is a master craftsman in Takato Masonry, by Sadaharu Moriya. The illuminated stone Buddha was artistic, giving the impression that I was watching a museum exhibition, and I couldn't help but say, "It's amazing." The cherry blossoms and autumn leaves are wonderful, but I also liked the nostalgic place with a lot of historical heritage.
