PhotographerKenneth Chao
Honpukuji Water Temple is a quiet convergence of form, light, and reflection. Ando’s spatial choreography rendered in concrete and water. The approach, hidden behind a lotus pond, deepens the contemplative journey. As a photographer, the interplay of geometry, material, and shadow captures a meditative stillness. This architectural icon on Awaji Island transcends structure, offering a sensory dialogue between human presence and sacred space.
