    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Shinjuku Rurikoin Byakurengedo is a new-age Buddhist temple designed by architect Kiyoshi Sey Takeyama. The structure takes a cubic form with rounded edges and sporadic windows. It does not follow common Buddhist architectural principles. The building instead leans towards a futuristic view of Buddhism while remaining true to the simplicity ingrained in the religion. <br />
<br />
Takeyama invents a sense of calm. The white concrete buildings with sporadic windows contrast with the city of uniform structures. It is a religious structure in the middle of a busy city. ]]></dcterms:description>
