El Correo is a series that compiles the informal and playful exchange of letters between the editors of Hidden Architecture, defining a contingent editorial line. El Correo es una serie que recopila el intercambio epistolar, informal y lúdico, entre los editores de Hidden Architecture, definiendo una línea editorial contingente. How many movements are necessary to cross the frontier that defines an interior space in relation to its exterior surroundings? ¿Cuántos movimientos son necesarios para atravesar la frontera que define un espacio interior respecto a su entorno exterior? Depending on the case, the physical and emotional choreography that defines this incursion can be more dense and rich in perceptions than the interior space itself. In a way, it is a skin that widens, housing different layers until its inner core is reduced to little more than a shadow. Dependiendo de los casos, la coreografía física y emocional que define esa incursión puede ser más densa y rica en percepciones que el propio espacio interior. De alguna manera, es una piel que se ensancha albergando diferentes capas hasta dejar su núcleo interno reducido a poco más que una sombra. We are standing in front of the complex known as Chu-do Hall, in the Kanei-Ji Temple in Tokyo. Although this temple, once the headquarters of one of the main Buddhist sects in Japan, was destroyed during the Restoration process of 1868, its subsequent reconstruction replicated the architectural and environmental qualities of the original. Although some of its parts and elements were moved to other places and its location was altered slightly, it maintains its historical position as the northern boundary of Ueno Park, next to the Mausoleum of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Nos encontramos frente al conjunto conocido como Chu-do Hall, en el Templo Kanei-Ji de Tokyo.
