NIKKo TEMPLE RICH IN ART
Great Shrine Of the Japaness, Built
Centuries Ago, IL the Work Of
Forty Years.

What st. Peters Is to Rome, what
Westminster Abbey is to London. what
the Pantheon was to Athens, that ID
the temple at Nikko to Japan today.
1t Is the richest and most perfect ex-
preston Of the art Of a whole nation
In so far as that art can be gathered
into single building. The Japanese
have been called nation Of artists,
and In their great temple they have
gone far toward justifying the term.
The temple was built centuries ago
DIS setting for the tomb of the Sho-
gun Iyeyasu, perhaps the greatest ruler
Japan has ever known. II Is the work
Of forty years, Of unnumbered scores
Of patient and nameless artists, Of I'M
numbered thousands Of forgotten work.
men, work that regarded neither
time nor effort nor cost.
The avenue of stately pines that
leads to the temple is 20 miles long.
Before the building rushes boiling
river, spanned by two bridges, red and

kado, the green bridge for common hu-
mainly, but the red Of the sacred
bridge is the exact tint needed to set
Off the green of the pines, the gray Of
the water and the brown Of the hills.
1t may not be trOdden, but its color is
there to complete the picture for the
humblest peasant.
The temple within is riot of beauty,
with sculpture, mosaic lacquer work,
and beaten brass competing to catch
the appreciative eye. 1t takes many
days to see even hastily all the wealth
of art in this shrine.
Nowhere is the sure instinct of the
builders better shown than in the tomb
itself. Not in the carven and gllded
temple, but withdrawn among the quiet
pines, in smooth casket of bronze
walled in with uncarven stones lie the
ashes Of Iyeyasu.
