- Japanese architecture is influenced by many aspects of native religion, such as Shinto.
- The buildings were made to be in harmony with nature to fit the Japanese lifestyle
- Older buildings were made with wood, but they used no nails
- All the elements of the buildings were so perfectly built together that they weren't needed
- Even without nails, these structures were able to withstand earthquakes
- The oldest structures with religious meaning were the Shinto Temples
- The introduction of Buddhism to Japan has its influence on architecture as well. An example of this is the Horyuji Temple, nicknamed "Temple of Blossoming Right"
- The Horyuji Temple has stayed in the same state since the VIIth century, though it has been rebuilt many times
What are Sinto Temples used for?
How are Buddhism and Shinto able to peacefully coexist?
What is a Samurai?
