The Terukuji Temple located in Fukui City Higashi-chojike Town is an ordinary temple from the outside.


However, when entering inside ... ...


Vivid images are projected by projection mapping, and Techno music is played according to your wishes.


"Music is raised in feelings and feelings move, which makes it one kind of ecstatic feeling" "I think that echoing music is important" To talk with ... ...


Mr. Asakura Masayuki who is the priest of Teruinji Temple.


The temple was erected 540 years ago, and Asakura-san will become the 17th priest.


Asakura said that he was disliked to be told that "Because you are a trailer, you should inherit the temple when you are small". In the early twenties, it seems that there was an image that the temple is old, spicy, stiff.


I managed to start doing DJ and lighting work because I wanted to escape from the temple somehow.




However, as I continued my work, I heard that he began to think that "lighting and DJs are the ones that convey wonderful things, they are no different from monks."




It gradually came to think that "The work of a priest is also wonderful" and said that she returned to the temple.


And, due to the current situation that the number of worshipers has decreased, I started an attempt to decorate the inside of the temple by illumination and projection mapping based on that music based on that music as a joke.


It seems that Mr. Asakura's work is called "Techno legislation".




At first it was only the neighborhood residents, but rumors called rumors, now hundreds of people gathered at temples. The age bracket of the people who come to visit is wide, and from children to elderly, there are also people who are visiting with their three children.


"I do not know how long the techno legislation will last, but I believe I'd like to do as much as I can," Mr. Asakura said.
