Inage Ryouen Crematorium and Temple
Eitaro Satake

In conventional mechanical cemeteries the remains are kept in small niches, while here the remains are stored in the basement under a tombstone, as in a traditional grave. Stone, wood and paper were used in the construction. A lounge, a temple, a worship room and a rooftop garden are arranged on three floors.
