Hey Nick. That shrine is really cool. A very experimental roof that turned
out pretty well, I think. The fences as screens is also quite nice. Question:
Who's the yellow statue inside? You said Yen paid respects there.. is it an
ancestral shrine or something along those lines?
on the note of Oriental themed constructions:
KK Quah's beautiful japanese castles:

Sun Yun's roof-less dojo:

also Keith Goldman's Japanese Fishing village

Albeit, most of these are Japanese rather than Chinese, the two styles are
similiar. I think it would be like seperating english castles from german
castles.. sure there's a difference, but its a petty one.
hope this helps.
