Ōura Tenshudō was built in 1864 in Nagasaki and survived the nuclear bombing in 1945 and also 150 years of quakes. I spent a bit of time inside just sitting down and being in the space and thinking about all that history. What was it like to be there? After I took this image outside I had a fascinating conversation with an old man who grew up right there and who lived through it all. He was standing right by me as I shot the image. He was a kid in 1945. Later I went to his home and had some tea.
