Rinnoji-Taiyuin-byo is a beautiful shrine in Nikko, Japan that is overshadowed by the popularity and artistry of the larger TÅshÅ-gÅ« (æ¥å æ±ç §å®®) shrine. Only a few hundred meters away, many visitors are tired by the time they reach Taiyuin-byo, but I personally favor this shrine for its sculpture. While visiting in late December 2007, I saw most people hurry by, some of them taking only one picture and quickly moving on, chatting away. These videos are dedicated to those who later wished they would have spent more time admiring the sculpture instead of rushing through this last stop in Nikko.
