Danjiri

Danjiri refers to a wooden structure with wheels that people can pull around the city. It also usually has two roofs, one large small, looking like a traditional roof of the Shinto temple. I managed to see a few of such vehicles while visiting Osaka Castle in Taiyo-no-Hiroba Park. You can also see them during various celebrations.

Location:

Osaka Castle, Otemon Gate’s Pillar Splice

Osaka Castle-Otemon Gate’s pillar splice (Osaka-jo-otemon-hikae-bashira-tsugite) - Japanese technique of joining two wooden elements without using nails. The lower part of the pillars has been repaired and reinforced with the traditional technique of removing damaged areas and filling cavities by joining new pieces of wood. At first glance, this combination seems impossible to do.
