To solve the problem that a Japanese traditional tiling roof of a temple or a shrine is easy to be damaged by an earthquake because of a heavy roof weight, in order to reduce the weight, roofing is performed by modeling the shape of Japanese traditional tile roofing while using copper plates or metal plates of titanium or the like but a round tile or a plain tile is restricted in the shape for preventing leakage of water, mounting requires professional skills, it is difficult to create fine patterns of eaves tiles or engraving on surfaces of ridge-end tiles, a long construction period is required as a whole, such metal plates are expensive, rough, indiscreet and awkward, and the delicate and dynamic presence of the temple or the shrine construction may not be expected, thereby requiring measurements.

In a Japanese traditional tiling roof of a temple or a shrine, a clay and heavy plain tiling roof is replaced with a metal plate tiling roof in a light tile color. In comparison with the prior arts, the metal plate tiling roof is lightweight and immune to an earthquake, prevents damage caused by bedewing, is not inferior in appearance and improves workability, thereby completing the construction in a short period.
