Temple Walls

[ . BACK to Happy Haiku TOP . ]

Temple Gates with striped walls

Yonago Temple Town, with 9 temples side by side.

Most walls had been destroyed during the earthquake in 2001.
Many walls have wooden boards now, some seem sujibei 筋塀.
I just line up the photos I got from my visit in May 2008.
