Buddhist Temples on O’ahu, Hawai’i
I captured most of these images of Buddhist temples on O’ahu in 2012-2013, and recently decided to revisit (and reprocess/edit) them to organize in a single post. Most are Japanese Shinto or Hongwanji but the the multi-color mostly blue one is Korean, and the red/yellow/green one is Chinese.

Hawai’i
