Bemutató időpontja: 2019 Jún 05

This episode takes a look at a number of Christian churches in Japan. Among those featured is an example producing a shower of light with its colorful stained-glass windows, and a church constructed very much in a traditional Japanese-style, complete with a Japanese-style tile roof and plastered walls, masterly crafted columns that were built to last, and an altar recess reminiscent of a tokonoma alcove. We visit a church that reverberates to the sounds of one of Japan's biggest pipe organs, a favorite of the musician Akira Senju. Find out the sound it makes and meet the person who crafted it.
