I got comment " I would like to see Japanese church " on the other day.
I visited my favorite small church at Hamamatsu. Because of Christmas will come to soon
There is in a forest near by lake which name is " The Catholic Hamamatsu Church".
This church is hard to find, but they say mass regulary.
By the way, why am I like this church.....
The reason is, when I open the door,
there is an extremely beautiful like take my breath away!
It is totally opposite from the exterior of a church.
As you can seen, their roof is made by wooden frame. It is like the bottom of the ship.
The part of the ceilling is only made by glass, you can see a nature light.
When I stand at here, I always feel warm and calm like I am in a forest.
This is the picture when I looked up.
Most of beam and pillar are made by good wood.
The light from above is not too bright, not too dark, I feel so comfortable.
Red and green parts are staindglass.
There is no letters and pictures on it. Is there any reason with it?
Sorry, I can't figure out.
When I came here last year, The christmas Belen doll were decorated.
It was not yet in this year.
What is the name of this stuff which is hanging from ceilling in front of altar.
This design remind me of a folded japanese paper.
Don't you think so?
About Japanese style, there is a shoji(a paper sliding door) both side of an aisle.
Maybe, I think architect dare to put shoji at here.
There is a common silence between architect in Japanese culture and western church.
Shall we enjoy Miko's blog with several languages?
New open, Miko Diko, you can read 2 diffrent languages at one screen.
Please check it at once!
Yes, the hanging something look like an origami :) Is it a lamp?
I love Japanese architecture very much. Interesting to see the mixture of christianity and japanese :)
Actually, I don't know what is this...sorry.
you are right, There are many Japanese architecture has westan style in it.
