Small, Big. Shirakawago is such an amazing place. I love all the Gassho Zukuri in the village, they are super beautiful buildings. The tall steep thickly thatched roofs are so great. I was walking to see the famous three farm houses there when I spotted this super awesome mini Gassho which turned out to be a fire hydrant cover. I really liked how this went from small house and tree to big house and tree.
