Meguro Catholic Church(2)

After the Mass, Feel Free to Explore and Take Photos 🌟 🍃🌸 After the Mass concluded, visitors were free to explore and take photos. The church, constructed of reinforced concrete, exudes a blend of modernity and classic elegance, with an air of solemnity and sanctity. 🍃🌸Sunlight streams through the narrow windows, and the smoke from the priest's censer fills the space with a divine glow. "God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light." At that moment, I witnessed the tangible manifestation of light. 🕍✨ Tips: To experience the Tyndall effect (the beautiful shafts of light), visit right after the Mass. 🍃🌸 There are Masses at 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. on Sundays, each lasting about an hour. The lighting should be at its best right after the service. 🌅 The entire church gives off a "fusion" vibe in terms of architecture: subtle connections to Frank Lloyd Wright, a personal interpretation of Gothic cathedral vaults by Raymond, and a significant infusion of traditional Japanese architecture, craftsmanship, and philosophy. 🍃🌸 It's evident that this European architect had a deep love for Japanese architecture. 🌿 St. Anselm Catholic Church (Meguro Catholic Church) Address: 6-22, Kamiosaki 4-chome, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo 🌇 #Tokyo 🌇 #Architecture 🏛️ #Church 🕍 #LightAndShadowPhotography 🌟
