Postcard from Japan!

Today I got a nice postcard from Japan! The postcard shows an interior view of the Sanjūsangen-dō temple in Kyoto, Japan. The temple is a Buddhist temple located in the Higashiyama District of the city. The name translates to the "hall with thirty three spaces between columns", which describes the exterior styling of the building. It was first built in 1164 and was rebuilt in 1226. On the card we see a row of Kannon statues, which are as tall as the average person. The card was sent by my dad who was on vacation in Japan. Thanks dad!
