IPPOIN TEMPLE
IPPOIN TEMPLE
During my recent short trip to Japan, I visited historical places in my hometown. This Buddhist temple called Ippoin (pronounced "ippouin") was built around 14th century. The temple has been familiar to me since my childhood but I never saw the interior of the main hall. Although temples normally don't welcome photographers inside, the chief priest of Ippoin kindly allowed me to go inside to photograph. Due to mixture of candescent light and daylight from outside, I partially used an orange filter in the post processing to balance the colors.
