The original Kintai Bridge was built in 1673 but collapsed due to flooding. The rebuilt bridge survived for more than 200 years until a typhoon destroyed it in 1950. The bridge that stands now over the Nishiki River has five wooden arches displaying an incredible amount of detail and craftmanship. Interesting fact: no nails or bolts have been used to build the arches, only clamps and wires.

This bridge, though more than two centuries old, yet still stands proudly and strongly in its own unique magnificent glory. It reminds us of the strength to stay alive to live to its fullest.
May this bridge leads us to the path of happiness in life and live to its fullest - that we shall not be lacking in anything whatsoever situation we are in.
Thanks for your time and trust it inspire you.
