The Nehan-Do is a newly built charnel chapel during the refurbishment of Toukouji Temple. Lighting for the Nehan-Do was designed to enhance the experimental sequence of a visit, walking from a lounge to a charnel house, and to where the Nehan-zo Buddha statue stays. The softly illuminated ceilings of plaster and carved wood achieve a serene space for prayers.
