		Due to its association with Japan's imperial family, the Grand Shrine is sometimes located at the "core" of the shrine Shinto establishment in Japan, and its rebuilding at twenty-year intervals, culminating with the moving of the "god-body" (shintai) in a mysterious nighttime ritual procession is considered the high point of the shrine's ritual calendar.
		While the procession of some 350 priests toward the old shrine begins under the illumination of electric lights, all lights are extinguished the moment the procession begins to move with the "god body" from the precincts of the old shrine toward the new.

		The architecture of Ise is my mind the rawest example of the awe-creating form in existence on the planet today.
		I am being overly dramatic and efflorescent of course, but there is something about a series of temples that are remade every fifty years on a new site (for hundreds of years), and which hold items deemed so holy that absolutely no one has seen them in hundreds of years, that inspire awe.
		These buildings are crafted so perfectly, are the container of incredible secrets of perfection and construction, and are rebuilt every fifty years at great cost and effort to the Japanese people, solely in order to BE, in that no one can see their insides, no one can actually use or exist in the building.
