Last snow in Teishoji

Written By Sali Sasaki

“Tradition by itself cannot function as the driving force behind creativeness, but it always bears within itself the chance to stimulate creativeness. To find this chance, I have roamed through tradition (to its furthest limits)”

*Tange K. quoted in Isozaki A. (2006) Japan-ness in Architecture, The MIT Press

Location: Teishoji Buddhist sanctuary, Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
