Kantoman, 2 months ago to Japan The answer to yesterday's riddle is in this picture. If you don't spot it, look at the second image. #Tōdaiji #Buddhist #temple in #Nara #Japan A closeup of the first picture focusing on the roof. The straight edge of the roof is capped off with a special tile called a shibi. It is often made in the shape of a fish, here it is a thick horseshoe made to look golden. I've included as an insert the image of a shibi displayed inside the hall and which I posted yesterday asking what this was.
