Phoenixes in MEIJI shrine

‘PHOENIX’
I came across the gold and silver phoenixes in MEIJI shrine gate.

Phoenixes


These are designed by contemporary artist KOHEI NAWA who is famous for 3D art and curved by traditional techniques scalper in Kyoto.

It’s because these designs are very complicated by 3D machine to form the shapes.
