Onigawara

Onigawara is the decoration roof tile that is fixed in the in edge of roof. 

Though the shape of the devil face is well-known, it was fixed with an aim of avoiding the disaster and as an decoration ornament. At present, it can be hardly seen.



It can be still seen in some of the old Buddhist temples, and hence I would like you to see that without fail.

There is a movie on the process of actually making the Onigawara.
