Kasuga Taisha, Nara, Japan

- Introduction to the Ancient Architecture

Kasuga-taisha in Nara presents three intertwined identities spanning over a millennium: it is one of Japan's three most important shrines, guarding the ancient capital and flourishing alongside the Fujiwara clan; it is the site of a unique landscape where sacred deer roam and thousands of vermilion lanterns are lit simultaneously in specific seasons, creating a dreamlike world; and it is a living cultural treasury, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its adherence to the ancient "Shikinen Zōtai" renewal ritual and the primeval forest behind it, which has been protected from logging for centuries.
