"I don't know Assembling Woods,"

Horyuji Temple five-storied pagoda and Yakushi-ji Temple three-storied pagoda (East Pagoda) still stand powerfully on the earth and show beautiful appearance even after 1300 years. However, inside, irregular and habitual trees are combined vertically and horizontally, and traces of old workers fighting with trees remain everywhere. By combining irregular trees well, a strong building can be made. The same is true for people, raising them in irregularities and successfully combining their habits can produce great results. Mr. Mitsuo Ogawa will talk about the essence of this.
