Restored Legacy
A blend of timeless Japanese aesthetics and state-of-the-art woodworking, this restoration of a historic shrine preserves its cultural heritage while incorporating modern technologies. The design embraces traditional methods like ‘Ishiba-date,’ where wooden pillars rest on stone, and intricate joinery that avoids metal. By combining modern seismic calculations and locally sourced timber, the structure achieves both sustainability and resilience, ensuring it remains a cherished landmark for generations to come.
