Kasuga Taisha shrine

A statue above the purification fountain honors the hungry sacred deer of Nara

Some of the many stone lanterns on the way up to the shrine

Kasuga Taisha's main hall

Bronze lanterns decorate the sides of the buildings. There are about 1000 of them.

More stone lanterns... There are really several hundreds of these in the shrine.
