感想　Ｉｍｐｒｅｓｓｉｏｎ

奈良市街の三条通りを東に向かい、一の鳥居を潜って参道を進むともうそこは春日大社の広大な境内です。辺りの春日山麓の原始林を見ながら歩いていく と二の鳥居が聳えています。さらに参道を上っていくと、朱に塗られた本殿に到ります。本殿を右折し南へ緩やかな勾配の参道を上っていくと、両脇に燈籠が びっしりと立ち並んでいました。その光景は壮観で東側は山側に沿うように並び、西崖側の燈籠は二列になり、間を歩けるような大小の石が敷かれています。林 立した燈籠が夕方の西日を浴びる姿は優美で眺めていると厳かな気分にさせてくれます。両脇に燈籠の列が続く参道奥の広い石の階段上に、庇を出した檜皮葺屋 根の建築妻面が見えてきます。石階段を上ると、さして広くない白砂の敷地に檜皮葺切妻屋根の細殿・神楽殿と直交した拝殿、低い階段を上がったところに朱色 の鳥居と左右の玉垣奥に本殿が鎮座して、若宮神社建築の全容が現われます。

南北方向に直線的に置かれた細殿・神楽殿と直交する拝殿は同じ檜皮葺屋根で繋がっていて一棟のようだが、足許は舗石道が敷かれ離れて別々の設えに なっている。細殿・神楽殿の東側は低い腰壁とその上に長押いっぱいまで入ったしとみ戸が内側上部に跳ね上げられ、注連縄が長押沿いにめぐらされて、どこと なく寝殿造り的な雰囲気が漂っています。内部は細殿が畳敷き、神楽殿は板敷きが主で奥に御簾がかけられるという王朝風な意匠から雅な雰囲気が漂ってきま す。直角に交わる拝殿は柱と長押、その上部小壁以外は開放的な構造で本殿を拝する渡り通路的な機能のみ負っているようです。春日大社の若宮神社は本殿から 南に向かう参道の両脇に林立する燈籠群が織り成す美しい景観に演出されています。鬱蒼とした春日山の原始林を背にした本殿から滑らかな檜皮葺の拝殿と細 殿・神楽殿が直線的に交わっている姿からは、言い知れぬ威厳のようなものが感じられました。

Already, there is vast precincts in Kasuga-taisha when heading for the east, and passing through first torii and going ahead at the approach to Shrine in the Sanjo street in the Nara City town.Second torii tower when walking while seeing primeval forest in Kasugayama foot at the vicinity.Moreover, when going up the approach to Shrine, it leads to the main shrine which was painted vermilion.The light cage ranged closely at the both sides when turning right at the main shrine and going up the approach to Shrine with gentle inclination to South.The glory of the scenery, the east side stands in line to meet a mountainside, the light cage on the side of Seigai becomes two lines and stone with the size as it is possible to walk between is laid.The appearance to be bathed in the afternoon sun the evening by the standing close together light cage can shine on the solemn feelings when it is elegant and looking.The architecture wife surface of the roofing of cypress bark shingles roof that the line of the light cage let out eaves onto the stairs of wide stone in the continuing approach to Shrine back to the both sides can be seen.Enshrined and Wakamiya shrine architecture whole picture’s appearing in the main shrine in Tamagaki back on either side with the vermilion torii in the place to have gone up Sai-den and the kagura-den of the roofing of cypress bark shingles gable roof, and the crossing at right angles hall of worship, the low stairs in Shikiji on the scarcely wide loamy soil when going up the stone stairs paragraph.

Sai-den and the kagura-den which was directly put on the north-south and the crossing at right angles hall of worship seem to be one, leading with the same roofing of cypress bark shingles roof but the foot becomes separately separate equipment with a pavement stone road laid.As for the east side of  Sai-den and the kagura-den, a attending door is splashed in the inner upper part in case of the horizontal piece of timber fullness and entering a low retaining wall and the top of it, a sacred straw rope resembles in the horizontal piece of timber going-along, and is turned round and it has an atmosphere having to do with somehow architecture representative of Heian period.Elegant taste drifts from the dynasty style interior that a bamboo blind is hung on the back with Sai-den being of primary concern about the inside and the wood floor being of primary concern about the tatami-floored, the kagura-den.As for the hall of worship which crosses, being right-angled, it seems that it assumes only a feature having to do with the aisle of the ferry of the main shrine to make by the openhearted structure the obeisance with the pillar except the horizontal piece of timber, the upper part Kokabe.Wakamiya shrine in Kasuga-taisha is enacted to the beautiful view which the light cage group which stands close together to the both sides at the approach to Shrine which heads for the south from the main shrine interweaves.One like the elevation was felt from the appearance which the hall of worship of the smooth roofing of cypress bark shingles, and Sai-den and the kagura-den cross straight from the main shrine which made the primeval forest of Kasugayama to be thick height.
