Sumiyoshi Taisha, Osaka, Japan

Osaka& x27;s Sumiyoshi Taisha & x28;住吉大社, & x22;Sumiyoshi Grand Shrine& x22;& x29; is one of Japan& x27;s oldest shrines. Founded in the 3rd century before the introduction of Buddhism, it displays a unique style of shrine architecture, called Sumiyoshi-zukuri, that is free of influence from the Asian mainland. Only two other shrine architecture styles are also considered purely Japanese: Shinmei-zukuri as seen at the Ise Shrines and Taisha-zukuri as seen at Izumo Taisha.
