Shrine Ceiling Art

A friend of mine, Iwata Sensei is currently painting the ceiling panels for a shrine in Inuyama.
He's done about 100 so far, and has another 200 to go to complete the entire shrines' ceilings. As they're all painted by hand, it takes him about 2 to 3 days to complete a panel....
The themes involve Japanese history and cultural icons, birds, fish, animals and plants. The shrine he's working on is just below Inuyama Castle. Visit any day to see the ceiling, and say G'day to Iwata Sensei too!
