Revisiting Japan~Osaka

The first time I came to Japan was in 2008, on February 7, 2025, from Daxing Airport to Osaka Kansai Airport. February 8, Osaka Umeda, Shinsaibashi. A lot of people, a bit messy, not suitable for the elderly [Angel] February 9, Nara Horyuji Temple. Not a check-in place for young people, just quietly looking at the ancient architecture, a wooden Buddhist temple built by Prince Shotoku in 607 AD during the Asuka period. The architectural design was influenced by the architecture of the Southern and Northern Dynasties in my country. It is divided into two courtyards, the East and West. The West courtyard preserves the Golden Hall and the Five-Storied Pagoda; the East courtyard has the Dream Hall, etc. The West courtyard's Buddhist Temple is the oldest wooden structure in the world, and of course, the shadow of ancient Chinese architecture can be seen everywhere. Feeding the deer in Nara Park, there are so many deer🦌, they don’t look very good, maybe because they have no antlers, their color is gray-brown. Kofuku-ji Temple and Todai-ji Temple were shocked by the "Daikegonji Temple" at the south gate! The establishment of Todaiji Temple originated from Wu Zetian's construction of heaven in Ziwei City in Luoyang and the carving of Vairocana Buddha in Longmen Grottoes. Todaiji Temple has a special connection with the Chinese Buddhist community because the eminent Tang Dynasty monk Jianzhen once taught the Vinaya here. Kasuga Taisha Shrine On February 11, plum blossoms bloomed in Osaka Castle Park, Osaka Castle Tower, and Plum Grove, with a light fragrance.
