"THE MORNING TILL NIGHT GATE" OF THE IYEYASU TEMPLE, AT NIKKO 

 " On the declivity of the Holy Mountain of Nikko, under cover of a dense forest and in the midst of 

 cascades whose roar among the shadows of the cedars never ceases, is a series of enchanting temples made of 

 bronze and lacquer with roofs of gold." — Pierre Loti. There is a Japanese proverb which says, " He who 

 has not beheld Nikko has no right to make use of the word splendor."
