EN:
The shrines and temples of Nikko, together with their natural
surroundings, have for centuries been a sacred site known for its architectural
and decorative masterpieces. They are closely associated with the history of
the Tokugawa Shoguns.
Outstanding Universal Value
Criterion (i): The Nikko shrines and temples are a reflection of architectural and
artistic genius; this aspect is reinforced by the harmonious integration of the
buildings in a forest and a natural site laid out by people.
Criterion (iv): The Nikko shrines and temples is a perfect illustration of the
architectural style of the Edo period as applied to Shinto
shrines and Buddhist temples. The Gongen-zukuristyle of the two mausoleums, the
Tôshôgû and the Taiyû-in Reibyô, reached the peak of its expression in the
Nikko shrines and temples, and was later to exert a decisive influence. The
ingenuity and creativity of its architects and decorators are revealed in an
outstanding and distinguished manner.
Criterion (vi): The Nikko shrines and temples, together with their environment, are an
outstanding example of a traditional Japanese religious centre, associated with
the Shinto perception of the relationship of man with nature, in which
mountains and forests have a sacred meaning and are objects of veneration, in a
religious practice that is still very much alive today.
