Hello everyone! I'm Azu from Tokyo, Japan. I have a deep love for historical architecture and I'm looking forward to learning and sharing insights with all of you. Let's dive into the beauty and complexity of structures from the past!

I am particularly intrigued by the ancient Japanese architectures such as Himeji Castle and Kinkaku-ji temple. These structures not only symbolize Japan's rich history but also display an incredible blend of aesthetics and functionality. They are truly masterpieces! Do you have any favorite historical structures from your respective countries?

It's fascinating to learn about the architectural heritage of different countries. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how your local historical architecture reflects your nation's history and culture. Also, if anyone has insights or lesser-known facts about Japanese architecture, I'm all ears!

Hello Azu, nice to meet you! I'm Rina from Hiroshima, Japan. I share your admiration for our ancient architectures. The Atomic Bomb Dome in my city is a poignant symbol of our history, reminding us of the devastating effects of war and the importance of peace. As for lesser-known facts about Japanese architecture, did you know that many traditional Japanese buildings are designed with a concept called 'Ma', which is a spatial interval creating a feeling of tranquility and contemplation? It's one of the ways our architecture reflects our culture's emphasis on harmony and balance. Looking forward to more discussions about this topic!
