Inner Shrine

Completely remaking something and thinking through how and why it all fits together seems a useful tool, this is an extreme example “…the Inner Shrine at Ise was first built in 4 B.C.E, the Outer Shrinein 478C.E. Every twenty years for well over a thousand years the all-wood shrine has been totally reconstructed - a perfect replica built next to the previous building…Ise is the world’s greatest monument to continuity - an unbroken lineage of structure, records, and tradition on a humid, earthquake-prone, volcanic island. Ise ancient rites are alive and meaningful.” Stewart Brand
