The Asian Influences tour will primarily look at Buddhist temples constructed in the post-war period. Sites will include the Honpa Hongwanji, which was built in 1918, and served as a prototype for temples built in a style which incorporated, Japanese, mughal and western forms. This temple had a major addition in 1954, and also a Japanese-modern administration building constructed in the 1950s. Other temples will include the Soto Zen temple and the Honolulu Myohoji. In addition two columbariums at Kyoto Gardens, which render Kyoto's Kinkaku-Ji and the Sanju Pagoda in Nara in concrete. Also included on the tour will be the former Chinese Consulate.
