Along a Passageway.
At Houryu-ji, Ikaruga-cho, Ikoma-gun, Nara-ken, Japan.
This is the last photo from Houryu-ji, unfortunately some of the best things that might link Prince Shoutoku to Keikyo (the old name for Christianity) were a few artworks in the treasure hall where no photos are allowed. Unlike the Uzumasa Temple and Shrine were they have things linking them to Christianity and Judaism in the Architecture, Houryu-ji any possible links could only be found in a few of the artworks. However we didn't see the western section of the temple grounds because we ran out of time. There also are a number of other sites related to Prince Shoutoku, so maybe later we'll continue our investigations.
