Ossuary Hall “Prabha”
Ossuary Hall and Temple
Myorenji Temple
This is a hotel-like ossuary project that embodies the concept of a “room for the deceased." Unlike typical dark warehouse-type ossuaries, it creates a space filled with peace and light for the bereaved. It is named "Prabha," derived from the word "light" in ancient Indian scriptures. Highlight of the design is the “Garden of Silence,” a dry landscape garden of pine trees and rocks arranged in perfect balance, from which visitors can enjoy the serene atmosphere and soak in memories of loved ones.
