3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. An integral bookBy M. PerryThis is a beautiful guidebook to the Japanese Buddhist temples of Hawaii. Many of these temples are facing closure; so this is a timely and very informative guide; covering history of the religion in Hawaii overall as well as in regards to individual buildings. The quality of the book is high; there is good resolution and color; and the paper has an elegant texture. Much needed coverage for those interested in preserving these gems or seeing them before they disappear. I recommend the film "Aloha Buddha" for those interested in a historical documentary on the subject. This book is great for a building-by-building guide. As a mainlander interested in religious architecture; I will use this as a guidebook when I next visit the islands in order to see some of these historical sites. Highly recommended.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

Very thorough review of Buddhist temples in HawaiiBy HawaiiboyI really enjoy this book and recommend it to anyone interested in the temples in Hawaii.During my recent trip to Japan a tour guide explained that a "temple" is Buddhist while a "shrine" is Shinto.
