Structure Background
Hōryū-ji (法隆寺, lit. Temple of the Flourishing Law) is a Buddhist temple that was once one of the powerful Seven Great Temples, in Ikaruga, Nara Prefecture, Japan. Its full name is Hōryū Gakumonji (法隆学問寺), or Learning Temple of the Flourishing Law, the complex serving as both a seminary and monastery.
The temple's pagoda is widely acknowledged to be the oldest wooden building existing in the
world, underscoring Hōryū-ji's place as one of the most celebrated
temples in Japan. In 1993, Hōryū-ji was inscribed together with Hokki-ji as a UNESCO World Heritage site under the name Buddhist Monuments in the Hōryū-ji Area. The Japanese government lists several of its structures, sculptures and artifacts as National Treasures. A 2001 study of its shinbashira, the central wooden column almost suspended inside the Tō, concluded the building to be a century older than previously thought.

There are around 48 Buddhist monuments in the Horyu-ji area, in Nara Prefecture. Several date from the late 7th or early 8th century, making them some of the oldest surviving wooden buildings in the world. These masterpieces of wooden architecture are important not only for the history of art, since they illustrate the adaptation of Chinese Buddhist architecture and layout to Japanese culture, but also for the history of religion, since their construction coincided with the introduction of Buddhism to Japan from China by way of the Korean peninsula.
Building Explanation/Process
I decided to build this temple since it is one of my favorite temples in Japan and it is recognized as the World's oldest wooden building. I built this in 3 days and I think it captures the essence and beauty of the real life structure. I built the Pagoda and the Kondō with more details than the other parts of the structure because I want it to be the main emphasis of the whole build.I used note blocks on the 2 main structures because I think that the Note block is a good looking block and it is not regularly used in building structures.
This build has the:
Chūmon (Inner Gate)
Kondō (Main Hall)
Five-Storey Pagoda
Entrance Gate
Lantern
