These are the interiors some exterior of a Buddhist Templess Pagoda This particular Temple is using the Silk Road Arts loved by Prince Shoutoku honoring the Prince. This is that noble Saint Prince whom currently the scholars believe that he was a part Persian from China. While I was in Bukhara, Uzbekistan. I saw very similar wooden-painted buildings and I said to myself. Buddhist Temples Art. Americans would say Chinese Restaurant Art!s ha ha ha Yes the Chinese restaurants they have these also. Now I see they were of same Art Sources from Persian and Central Asian Art arrived into Japan via China. Seattle, Washington has 5th Avenue Theater which has the very type of painted decor done by Chinese Artists. This beautiful Pagoda is very near to my home town. I got to go there with my Mother. Closer than going to Bukhara.
