Check you friend's heart with Nara Deer
There are many deer in Nara Todai-Ji Temple; they are wandering in the park freely. We can buy food for the deer from street shops selling deer food.
I wonder if deer are very tame and friendly as this type of animal doesn't like to be close to humans.
Local believes that they are approaching only people who have goodwill. Therefore, we said a joke to each other,
"Your actual mind will reveal when you meet with deer"
When I entered the park of the Temple, I noticed that they were very clever in understanding human behaviours. If people who walk in a hurry neglect them, they avoid those crowds, but some people who buy deer food are their target to approach. As they seem to know taking pictures, they always stand without any movement beside the people who care about them while taking photos. They never run away as well as they never strive against human hug. They turn their face towards the camera while Safi.
People in Japan believe that those legendary deer are marabout. Once upon a time, the god Takemikazuchi arrived at Nara Park riding a white deer and he left his deer as a guardian for Nara. Therefore, Nara and deer always coexist.
Japanese Architects are very talented in building temples against earthquakes. Todai-Ji temple is a totally wooden structure mixed with nature's strength and architecture. I am so excited to see their principle of wooden building.
Although they faced various disasters, their never-give-up mindset and resilience are very respectful. Finding ways to resist, their architecture is well improved. Trying to re-establish under several eras, their willpower becomes intense.
The Architecture proves that its residents are very united and work hard to reconstruct their amenities and culture whenever they fall in trouble.
I believe that the deer that have been left by God, as their legend says, may be their citizens rather than park deer because they are always trying to protect their culture, tradition and their goodwill in their long history.
Please make sure that our environment is not destroyed by our actions.
