Memory of Sumiyoshi-Taisha in Osaka

I was taking a picture of 'Taiko Bashi' bridge from on the nearest bridge at Sumiyoshi-taisha.

The honden is built in the Sumiyoshi-zukuri style and has been designated a national treasure on the grounds that it is the oldest example of this style of architecture.

Parts of most of buildings, including the bridge, were beautifully painted with orange-red color.

All photos of today's post were taken by my wife, Kiyono using her smartphone.
