Togo Murano (1891-1984) who was one of the architects on behalf of Japan dealt with many unique buildings by original building thought. Masterpiece, world peace memory temple of Confucius (1954) of Hiroshima-shi are appointed to the important cultural property of the country as architecture for the first time after the war in 2006. The drawing of several kinds showing trial and error before leading to the form of the current temple of Confucius is one of the highlight. Through a model and the design original drawing of many buildings which, besides, Murano dealt with of the temple of Confucius, I introduce the wide work for 60 years.
