Although it is a sacred space, it will use in a casual, The same wood for the wall as structure made it a gentle space. "Chigi" seen in the shrine building don't protrude like horn but sank under the roof and swung diagonally. It will be compensated for stress of the X-Y axes. This shows the long history with the worshiper and the shrine, and it is designed as a "gathering place" that the visitors keep in memory.
