Denzuin（傳通院）

-

 

🛕


The temple gate and the main hall, which had remained since the Edo period, were completely destroyed by fire during the war, so they were rebuilt in 1949.


The beauty of its appearance is said to have been compared to Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris by the writer Kafu Nagai in his essay.


Soseki Natsume also depicted Denzuin in his novel "Kokoro." The current main hall was rebuilt in 1988, the second time after the war.


The main Buddha image is Amitabha Tathagata, and the Holy Kannon with Immeasurable Life is also enshrined. You can go up into the hall and worship.


Denzuin, the 12th temple of the Edo Thirty-Three Kannon Pilgrimage, is a temple that many people visit for collecting temple seals (Goshuin).


It is located close to subway stations on each line, making it easily accessible, and it also has a parking lot, so you can visit by car.


Goshuin can be obtained at the Nokyo-sho (Goshuin office) next to the main hall. There are two types of Goshuin: the main Buddha's Goshuin, which has the inscription "Honzon Amida Butsu" (Main Buddha Amitabha), and the Edo Thirty-Three Kannon Goshuin, which has the inscription "Muryo Sho Kannon" (Holy Kannon with Immeasurable Life). Both are stamped with the three seals of the Buddha's teachings.


In order to promote interaction with local people, summer Bon Odori festivals and other events are held in the precincts of Denzuin. When the lanterns are hung and lit on the temple gate, the area is filled with a solemn atmosphere.


It is also the morning glory venue for the Bunkyo Ward event "Morning Glory and Ground Cherry Market," which attracts many visitors.

Tokyo Tower x Tokyo Skytree: Circle of Apollonius

-
Image
Tokyo Skytree and Tokyo Tower are both landmarks of Tokyo, but they differ greatly in height and design. Tokyo Tower is 333m tall, with historical design and attractive night views. Tokyo Skytree is 634m tall, boasting an overwhelming height of more than twice that of Tokyo Tower. Although Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree are similar yet different, there are places where the two towers of different heights appear to be aligned at the same height. Why, even though they are about 8km apart in a straight line?! The answer is a theorem called the Circle of Apollonius. Since it's a circle, there are many places where you can see it!
