Temple open to the community | Renovation of a temple community hall

This is a renovation project of a meeting hall (monks’ hall) of a temple of the Honganji sect of Jodo Shinshu in Saga Prefecture, which has been in existence for more than 300 years since the Edo period (1603-1868).
The temple holds events such as “temple yoga,” “Terakoya Live,” “Terakoya Shokudo,” and “Omoyai Flea Market,” and actively engages in activities not only as a religious place but also as a community place.
In this project, the over 100-year-old assembly hall will be renovated and redeveloped as a space symbolizing “a temple open to the community” where many people can relax.
