Temples in Japan have their similarities, but there are many different... branches... of Buddhism and the temples, even when of similar construction, sit within rather different atmospheres.  Honmonji is fairly large and consists of several buildings and I detected a wide range of different feelings in my time there walking around.  Don't ask me what that means, as it was a wordless wind that was blowing, but I would like to point out that some places have a more unified feeling to them....  What does it mean?  Who knows!  Go and have a look to see what you think!  -  Copyright 2006 by Lyle (Hiroshi) Saxon, Images Through Glass, Tokyo
