Japanese & America Cultural heritage

            ↑(Horyu-zi)  ↓(Statue of Liberty)


  These days there are a lot Culture heritage in this world. Most of the Country has a own cultural heritage. Japan and America has are big and old Cultural heritage for each other. This time the topic is Japanese ancient temple call "Horyu-zi". The Biggest symbol of United "State Statue of Liberty"(I think I'm saying right). Now first Japan has a lot of ancient staff so I can't explain everything at here. But they still have a lot of staff in Japan Example "Itsukushima Shrine" it's a big shrine is on the sea, "Kingdom of Ryukyu" The big Kingsom had Okinawa for long time ago,"Kyoto". For America has lot's of staff to for example "Yellowstone National park","Grand Canyon",

The "Statue of Liberty" is made by 1886 and it's cultural at 1986. This statue is presentation at French people. Hight is 33.86m and 225t. The each part is made of france and they separate at 214 parts for each. The right hand is made by gold and the shape is been torch. About the crown there are 7 projection and those are mean for freedom 7 continents and 7 oceans. Now this is the big symbol of United State. At the near with Liberty island the Island name call Ellis Island there are over 12000000 people came in here to United State at 1892-1954.

The First picture is call "Horyu-zi" and this temple is oldest building with made by wood. This temple is made by 608 at Nara in Japan (by the way which I live). It's been heritage at 1993. This "Horyu-zi" is not a only about the heritage staff. The heritage staff are including around the temple too. This "Horyu-zi" has a amazing truth. This building is burn at fire for couple times at History. But this building never break at earthquake. Japan has a lot of earthquake during the year. couple time there are terrible earthquake at Japan. The Nara is far away but still cross to the center of the earthquake place and the houses are shake a lot. But this temple never broke it. One time it's broke a part for thunder because of this temple is tall. The people try to know why this temple is not broken for earthquake..... The result is never found it. Even Super computer too. This temple has a lot of riddle and 7 secret's. Those 7 secret's are..
1. In this temple the flog has only has 1 eyes. 2.There are no spider's threat in this temple. 3. There are no hole of ground for raindrops. 4. The top of this temple there are 4scythe is stick in there. 5. The monks seat is always sweat 6. There are 3 treasure box which never open. 7. There is the stone step which shape like fish which nobody understand why they are in there.

Every Cultural heritage had a back round for each country. The Statue of Liberty has independence day and Horyu-zi has the person name call Prince Shoutoku that he made the one of the person basic of Japan at 574. Each Country had a own history so that those history is treasure for these days.
