外から見るとごく普通のコンクリートのブロックだけど、一歩中に足を踏み入れると、十字架のかたちをした窓ガラスから光が差し込んだ室内には圧倒的な存在感と、厳かな空気が漂っています。
今月号のCasa Brutusが安藤さん特集で、付録で付いていたDVDをついさっき見て、この教会のことを思い出しました。

The Church of The Light must be the one of the most famous churches in Japan. It is a short bus ride from Ibaraki Station, Osaka. Visitors have to book in advance to see inside.
It is just a small concrete building from outside but when you go in, it is another world. The light shone into the room through the cross shaped window and it feels so sublime (even though I am not Christian...).
I was watching DVD about Ando, which came with this month's Casa Brutus magazine. And it reminded me of this church.
