Thinking of Chomei-ji 長命寺 in Omihachiman: seasonal display, Grand Rapids

For the past several years the Christmas and New Year's exhibition at Meijer Gardens has included some of the landmark houses and businesses around the city of Grand Rapids. But also there are famous buildings from the sister-cities that G.R. has in Ghana, Italy, Japan, Mexico, and Poland.

All of the buildings are made from pieces of plants; for example, the toadstools at the base of this pagoda. An image search for "omihachiman chomeiji" turns up many pictures of the actual building that can be visited in Shiga prefecture, close to the southeast shore of  Lake Biwa. There is also some information about the significance of Chomei (long life)-ji (temple) on Wikipedia-Japanese, https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/長命寺
