The ancient capital Kyoto has not only ancient shrines and Buddhist pavilions, but also modern buildings designed by many famous architects. If you are tired of watching Tianman Palace with fallen maple leaves and Daiguo Temple with swaying cherry blossoms, you may wish to take a trip to modern Japanese architecture that blends modernity with tradition and pays equal attention to history and the present.
Keywords: traditional and modern characteristic architecture | the classic route of combining ethnic minorities with popular scenic spots.
There is a place called Okazaki in the south of Zuojing District in Kyoto. In peacetime, it belongs to the "Baihe" area east of Pingan Jing. At the end of Ping 'an, the administrative White Crane Temple was built here, and the Liu Sheng Temple, headed by hockey, also built the Grand Garland here, which was once very prosperous. However, in the Kamakura era, the fire erased these buildings from history, leaving only the name "Okazaki" handed down to this day.
The modernization of Kyoto cannot be separated from Lake Biwa. At the end of Edo, the decline, riots and relocation of Kyoto tortured this ancient capital with a thousand years of history. As one of the strategies of developing and rejuvenating the country, the drainage plan of Lake Biwa has been implemented, and water transportation, irrigation and hydropower have laid the foundation for the modernization of Kyoto. In the 28th year of Meiji, in order to promote Kyoto culture, the government hosted a domestic industrial exposition and held the "1 100 anniversary celebration of moving the capital safely". As a symbol of the commemorative ceremony, the Peace Shrine was built in the Expo Park.
In Okazaki, there is such a walking path, and you can generally appreciate the architectural aesthetics of marble and concrete. It starts from Kyoto Art Museum (this museum), passes through Kyoto Government Library, Peace Shrine, Kyoto Budo Center, Kyoto Art Museum (other museums) and rohmtheatre Kyoto, and finally reaches the adjacent Fujii Kaicheng Museum.
It takes only an hour and a half to travel about three kilometers. Tourists are like crossing from one end of time to the other, and those cold buildings are like guarding an unshakable heart, waiting for you quietly.

From then on, his interest in China culture became more and more out of control, and he began to collect.
