架构师提供的文本描述。这是一座自建的便携式神社，位于日本高山地区一个人口稀少的村庄。2015年，一座名为Kanama-Jinja的原有神社因一场猛烈的台风袭击了该村而严重受伤。卡纳明神社有两个建筑组成部分：一个是祭祀者的正面神社，另一个是后神殿，主要神社设在那里。

Text description provided by the architects. This is a self-built portable shrine in a depopulated village in the moutain region of Kochi in Japan. In 2015, the pre-existing shrine called Kanamine-jinja was deeply injured by a heavy typhoon that hit the village. The Kanamine Shinto shrine had two architectural components: one is the front shrine dedicated to worshipers while the other was the rear shrine, where main shrine was set.

概念草图

原始神社的建筑轴线面向高兹尤山，这是一座离神社十公里的圣山。靖国神社的场地太窄，部分倒塌，导致一座不能再维修的建筑。作为解决办法，我们决定把这座建筑分成两个较小的神殿：正面是居民和崇拜者居住的地方，而后面的神殿是在森林中的原始神社前面。在拆除原神社之前，原神殿中的主神殿被转移到后神殿。

The original shrine had its architectural axis geared towards mount Gozaisyo-yama — a sacred mountain located ten kilometer from the shrine. The shrine’s site was too narrow and had partly collapsed which resulted in a building that could no longer be maintained anymore. As a solution, we decided to divide the building into two smaller shrines: the frontal area is a housing area for inhabitants and the worshipers while the rear shrine is set in front of the original shrine in the forest. Before demolition of the original shrine, the main shrine set in the original shrine was transferd into the rear shrine. 

根据原始神社的轴线，前面的神社和后面的神社都必须设置在朝向高兹尤山的轴线上。然而，后部神社设置在太窄和有限的地点，在原来的神社前面，所以它不能设置在轴心朝向神圣的山。在清理了破碎的原始神社后，我们必须将后神社转移到原来的神社所在地，并将后神社定位在向圣山方向的轴线上。因此，后端的特点是八个轮子连接到结构的底部，使其便携。

Both front shrine and rear shrine have to be set on the axis toward mount Gozaisyo-yama, according to the axis of the original shrine. However the rear shrine was set in the too narrow and limited site in front of the original shrine, so it could not be set on the axis toward the sacred mountain. After clearance of the broken original shrine, we have to transfer the rear shrine into the site where the original shrine was set, and locate the rear shrine on the axis toward sacred mountain. So the rear end features eight wheels attached to the bottom of the structure, rendering it portable.
