You can see how cypress-roofed roofs, which are often seen in temples and shrines, are actually roofed at the site of the National Treasure Onjo-ji Temple Silla Zenshindo and the Important Cultural Property Onjo-ji Temple Daimon. It is a highlight that the roofing staff pulls bamboo nails out of their mouth all at once and roofs the cypress bark with a rhythmic sound "tonton" with a hammer. Please take a closer look at how beautiful curves unique to cypress bark roofs are created.
