Standort
For the conservation of the house model of a daimyo residence displayed in this gallery, 10,000 tiles had to be recreated. Even today, the faithful in east Asia dedicate to temples roof tiles which they provide with their own name and wishes. This floral flat tile painted with bronzing represents a particularly striking example.
