Bunkyo city Course
1 The Japanese Orthodox Church Holy Resurrection Cathedral (Nicholai Cathedral)
The Nicholai Cathedral was founded in 1891, named after the Archbishop St. Nicholai, who visited Japan in 1861. Josaian Conder made the detailed design based on the original design by Micahel Shchurupov. The design was drawn with ogee arch motif of Byzantine style. This building is highly valued for a pioneer before a RC structure became the mainstream. In 1998, this building was restored to reproduce the beautiful Byzantine style in 1929, at the renovation just after breaking down by the Great Earthquake in 1923.
