Look at the world’s coolest doghouse!

Share 124 from Casey Baseel on FB. Temple artisans are building the coolest doghouses!

We see this type of architecture in Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples.

The focus of Osaka’s Heritage Engineering Design Inc. is the preservation & renovation of historical & classical buildings, especially temples & shrines.

Carpenters & metalworkers build dog houses by hand. In addition, these craftsmen work on shrines & temples. The artisans use Japanese hinoki and keyake cypress with a granite base and a copper plate roof.

What a work of art! It blew me away!

Here is a short YouTube video. It is stunning to see their craftsmanship.

The exterior dimensions are 119.1 centimeters in height, 122.5 centimeters wide & the opening to the interior is 41 centimeters in height & 39 centimeters wide.

The Cost is $150,000. The company, Bunkaizai Kozo Keikaku, can be contacted via its website.
