An artistic interpretation of the traditional Japanese "Gongen" architectural style and its embodied Shinto religion inspired by Japanese Shinto Shrine Kitano Tenmangu.

Plum, the motif of Kitano Tenmangu, is illustrated as a symbolic bond interwoven among the wooden plagues of prayers (Ema), the Shinto Priest and the sky - depicting the spiritual interconnection of Deity(Kami), Men and Nature that has been recognized and upheld through centuries of prayers and traditional Shinto practices in Japan.
