Tokyo Camii & Diyanet Turkish Culture Center(1)
๐ฟI never expected to find such an astonishing architectural gem in the heart of Tokyo! ๐ Tokyo Camii (Tokyo Jami'i) is one of the largest and most representative Islamic religious buildings in Japan and a significant religious and cultural landmark in Tokyo. ๐ Tokyo Camii adopts the Ottoman Turkish architectural style, one of the most representative styles in Islamic architecture: ๐ฟ Dome: The main dome, with a diameter of about 23 meters, has the perfect height and proportion to create a sense of grandeur in the interior space. The dome is not only a religious symbol (representing the connection to the heavens) but also a key element in distributing the structural weight. ๐ ๐ฟ Minaret: The towering minaret (about 41 meters high) is a combination of visual identity and acoustic function (used for the call to prayer). ๐ #Tokyo ๐ #TokyoCamii ๐ #IslamicArchitecture ๐ฟ
